Only thing I was hoping was for c&r imperial standard, which would be British around 1790 to 1820. A long long shot though! gl

The words you're having trouble with are written in Old-English Script -- which of course indicates it is a British-made 1-piece brass flatbutton. It does say Treble Gilt. The rest of the backmark actually says STANDd (note the small d)... which is an abbreviation of Standard, as you'd expect.

When dug in the US, these British-made 1-piece brass buttons with "indented" lettering in the backmark date from about 1810 into the late-1830s. By that time, American button makers could mass-produce enough that there was no longer a need to import them from Britain, which meant you had to pay the US Government's stiff Import Tarriff (tax) on them.

Cannonballguy should get paid for this.

I want y'all to know that I do notice and appreciate that thought, and y'all's other compliments. Yes, I'm spending several hours a day, every day, as an "ID-helper" here, simply to assist my fellow relic-diggers. But I must point out, several other people in the What-Is-It forum also do that, and may God bless them for their Volunteer labors. Insofar as I'm aware, TreasureNet doesn't pay any member -- even the Moderators.
