Re: Need help with this button

Looks like a U.S. Artillery button, c. 1808-1821, quite similar to the AY 52 varieties in Albert's book, although he doesn't list that particular backmark.
 
VERY NICE! I have 2 just like it. Congrats Hogge :headbang:
 
These are the kind of buttons I seek every weekend I get out. Great button! :headbang:
 
Very nice button.......Here in NY there were plenty of battles along Lake Erie and Canada. Found a few here and there.....
