✅ SOLVED Button

[PavelP]

I found this button one month ago and it I think it's old, it had a good patina before i cleaned it. I think the metal is copper, possibly had a metal layer on it before and there something inside that moves when I shake it. If any one could date it would be great

It is what button-collectors call a "Fashion" (for "fashionable clothing") button with a tinplated iron or steel back. It was most likely on a "sportscoat" or a (cardplayer's)vest. Because its iron back is corroded enough to prohibit reading any maker's-mark which might have been on it, we cannot narrowly time-date it for you. It is most likely from the early-through-mid-20th-Century.

Despite being called a Fashion button, an iron/steelbacked buttos would not be worn on expensive clothing, because the tinplating eventually wears off, which means the iron/steel back will afterward be making rust stains whenever the clothing gets wet (or washed).
