Hi All,

I was having one of those ho hum hunts at a 1700's house and at the end I scored these 3 buttons to turn the hunt around. The cool thing is they are all the same buttons. I emailed Don and he thinks they are from sometime between 1790's and early 1800's. So if anyone else has any thoughts be great to hear. Thanks for looking.

Brass one-piece buttons with a raised-letters backmark date from about the 1810s into the 1840s. The three you found are civilian "Fashion" buttons.
