Went to the 1820’s property for a hour and did pretty good. I got a gold guilt, looks like another floral and can’t read what is says on the back, a clay marble, glass marble, old car and a black glass bottle neck. Looks like I’ll be starting bottle digging in 2019. Any opinion on the button feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

I tried 3 different image enhancements:

Truthbutton.webpGrayscale

Truthbutton1.webpHue Saturation

Truthbutton2.webpInverted w/ enhanced shadows...maybe can get something from these?
 
No manufacturers in the back mark book that start with "and..." or "sand...". Ths mystery continues
 
TB.webpHere's an invert/shadowed of the other pic....
 
It may be Sandland...still searching

Draper and Sandland were headquartered in Attleboro, Mass. 1845-1848. Albert H. Draper and Thomas Sandland. The backmark book does not have this particular one listed, but I have no doubt they made it. Jock-itch-powder? Yeah, that would work too. Bedtime!
 
Well I'll buy the Sandland part, but what's the second name? Sandland doesn't appear in the back mark books, but that book is only for backmarks on American Military buttons.
 
There's one in the link I posted above...
 
It may not be the manufacturer at all .. It may be the name of a clothing store or general merchandiser that the button was made for.
 
nice finds Truth and when you start bottle digging you won't want to stop

So there is a Sandland Eaves & Co. button which is great odds that’s what it is, just can’t find anything on them.
