I can’t find anything online from what I I can see it says Hornfr & shain Philada. Any information or correction if I have the letters wrong.

I think you have it close and that it is probably Horner & Shain. They were dry goods merchants in Philadelphia c. 1820s-1830s.
This is a mention of the backmark here -

Thanks for the info. I started thinking that was Horner after I posted this thread. I still wasn’t able to find anything myself. Also had found an old cannonball guy post saying it’s not necessarily the button maker but the one who commissioned them to be made so that fits in with that also.
