Button?

[Garabaldi]

Is this a button? Seems like gold gild. Looks like a one piece, but has a small rod before the loop in the back. Maybe a horse tack? Do you think its old?

That is a GREAT one--Very old! I wouldn't hesitate to call it mid-1700 or earlier. Gold gilded.

Wow, I have never seen a button with this design and this much gild that was dug. It didn't seem real at first. I have used some aluminum jelly, but need to do the inside. Just wish it had an eagle on it.

Like BB said, this one is "pre-eagle"

Cool button

Thanks everyone. Seems like there is more or a story behind this button that we know.
