The button has no visible backmarks. It is 11/16 wide. Inside the oval is an anchor with horizontal lines. Looks like the eagle is facing right. Not sure about the star count, 13 or 15. Art

Your button is a US Navy button manufactured from 1803 through 1829, according to the photos and info in the book "Record of American Uniform And Historical Buttons" by Alphaeus H. Albert.

Thanks TheCannonballGuy for the ID. It looks like a smaller version of a Navy button I dug. Art
