Button ID help Please.

Any idea how old this button is and is it military?

Looks like a mid1900's clothing button to me

My impression is the same. Backmark would be nice but that's not going to happen.

Some one else found one and posted just the other day. Its called "shield with ruffle" and Waterbury lists it as a fashion button.

Very nice id gents. Thanks. Ironic that someone else found the same type button. Hope he is not hunting in my secret spot.

If you think 2 people finding the same button is strange, last year I was hunting a field in the Netherlands and found a hammered copper coin. After cleaning it up, it was identified on the Dutch forum as a 1592 Friesland O. I thought it looked familiar for some reason. I looked back through my photos of unidentified coin finds and there she was. The exact same coin from a place I hunt on Edisto Island south of Charleston, SC. Now that is spooky.
