Brass 1/2 inch or so and not cleaned. From "across the pond." Do you agree? anglo.webpanglo1.webp
 
Sorry no, the saxons used brooches and pins to fasten there clothing. Functional buttons were not invented till the 13th century. Your button is post medieval (16th onwards)

16th century Is still good. Paid 25 cents for it.

I could be way off, but it looks similar to some of the old style bottle closures (stoppers, caps)... Mid-late 1800's?

No it's way too small, I've had those before.
