Found this the other day and It has backmark with Tremble Stand Gilt Colr. Does anyone know anything about this kind of flatbutton? The Button is about the size of a nickle. Thanks in advance for any help.
These were exported to the States by the British and were used during the first quarter of the 19th Century.
Backmarks bearing terms Treble Rich, Treble Gilt, etc are trademark or stock backmarks denoting quality. Most originated in England, and may have also been used to disguise the actual source in the southern smuggling trade
