It is a 1780's house with a long history of activity including slavery, blacksmith shop, various owners, small civil war history, and revolutionary/colonial history. I found this button right in front of the slave quarters. It has an iron back it looks like.
Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Iron back usually indicates "new"... most old two piece buttons are all brass. I do recognize the image on the front.

Hopefully someone will come along shortly and ID it.

Best of luck to you sir!

PS: I agree with Steve below, but didn't want to pop the bubble. And, the IHC is really nice... jade green little rascal.

I would say that is a 20th century blazer button.

Congrats on the finds. Love the IH!
