✅ SOLVED Button ID help (pewter?)

Buttons have always been my Achilles Heel, found this one this evening, seems to be pewter, ship on the left, possible fort on the right? Back of the button has a seam (cast?).

Nice button

interesting button. I agree about ship on the left. Looks like a possible lighthouse on the right.

Thanks for confirming two things, I need glasses and yes, that is a light house, a very big light house...lol! Thank you bp.

Nice find! There's a pewter button of that style listed in The Big Book of Buttons at pages 206-07. It seems it should be earlier but they place it late 19th century.

Nice button. I would think 18th century manufacture UNLESS it came out of Asia.

Bramblefind for the green check mark! Well done, thank you. The time frame is consistent with other finds from the site.
