A few Buttons, Lead weight?

[jgas]

Found these buttons at a circa 1860-1870 home. Wondering if these are from that period. One says Warrantied Orange, another has Treble something? Another has Rich Colour. The one with the design on the face is cool looking. It has what appears to be a stem with a clover or flower design. It's really hard to see what the backmark says. The bullet casing is from the same place. What would have shot that honker? And finally the weight thing was found there as well. Several inches deep. Looks like a makeshift fishing weight or something. What do you all think? Thanks for the info on these. I found 6 1800's coins in this yard too, if that helps with the dating. Thanks. jgas

From www.reloaders.net:

The 38-72 WCF (Winchester) was designed for, and introduced with, the Winchester Model 1895 lever action, box magazine repeater.

Or Google "38-72 WCF" for another 19,000 pages of info.
