Can anybody I.D. this button?
I'm thinking militia of some sort because it has the bugle (horn of plenty). Wolf holding bugle in it's mouth. Ribbon above wolf's head (similar ribbon on militia buttons). Large bunches of grapes on both sides. Two way or crossing wreath up top with possible small shield above wreath. I can read "RICH" and "STAND" on back. Found in field in upstate N.Y. at house site that dates from 1830's. a Royal Navy 1800's shoehorn was found in same field site... if that matters or helps?
