🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Age of button

[Nathan W]

Found at return site I've gotten a lot of old items from. My shovel must have hit the edge. It's copper I'm sure. This pattern is interesting . What would be a good date range for this?

Nice find. Buttons can be challenging to predict. I would guess 1840 or later.

I don't know if it helps, but I have found many (maybe 100) buttons on sites dated from the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s and none of them had holes for sewing them on. All had loops.
