Looks like it says "Mihi Lucra Pericla," pretty close to "mihi lucra pericula" which seems to be translated a few ways, but possibly as: dangers are profitable to me. That motto is on a list of Great Britain family crests if that helps so maybe a livery button.


Update:
Yup, looks like it's the Suttie family crest. In Fairbairn's Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland on page 536 it lists the Suttie family crest as a ship under sail, flagged and rigged, and with that motto. https://archive.org/details/fairbairnsbookof01fair/page/536/mode/2up/search/suttie

That's an awesome button! Wonder how it ended up here?

Nice Livery Button, the give-a-away was ribbon/rope at the base, all Liveries have them. Never seen a Ship, & less then 40% have motto's, so a nice rare combo in my eyes! (plus loads of Sheffield plate left)

That looks like a really good button. You can tell it's really old just by how it looks! Congrats on a great find!
