George slaying dragon?

I do not see any of the devices associated with military buttons. You know, banners, stars, crown, country name, etc.

It certainly looks old too. My guess is civilian, perhaps off of a piece of equine apparel, maybe fox hunt motif.

I have an active imagination!

I think it's a livery button something like this.

As similar as the livery button above is, I'm inclined to think maybe a hunting/picture button, as in this one the horse is standing on ground with other stuff on it, rather than that distinctly patterned line thing that livery buttons so often have. Also there seems to be other things in the scene, rather than just the symbolic pieces of a livery button.
But I can always be wrong (As is the case all too often)

Not sure but, it's old, intact with stamp marks and cool as HECK! Very nice button. I dig it!

I didn't join in, but I agree, rule out Livery Button.

Needs a bit of a clean but G&D seems most likely.

Not Military.

The "distinctly patterned line thing that livery buttons so often have" (lying horizontally below the bottom of the main emblem) is actually a wreath, viewed "on edge." In Livery/Heraldry it is called a Torse. As Trapperart's photo shows (thanks Art), a Torse typically shows 6 twists in the wreath's body. Insofar as I've seen (but I don't think I've seen everything), a Torse is always shown laying horizontally, and is straight. So I agree with Nhbenz and Crusader, Tompointer's button is not a Livery button, because the ground under the horse is curved like a smile, and definitely is not a Torse. I also agree that it is not a Military-issue button. However, it's still a cool and very old button... the "TREBLE STANDd EXTRA RICH" backmark is from the first half of the 1800s. Your button is what button-collectors call an "ornate" brass 2-piece button, which means it dates from no earlier than the 1830s, and that particular backmark had mostly fallen out of favor by the 1860s, so I'd date your button as 1830s-60s.

Tompointer, I see that's your very first post at TreasureNet. Welcome to T-Net's "What Is It?" forum, the very best place on the internet to get unknown objects CORRECTLY identified.

Your posting-name info doesn't say where you live, so let me ask, where did you find the nearly-200-year-old button? (What country, or state and town, in a park, an existing house's yard, or a now-vanished old house site out in the woods or a farmer's field?)

I appreciate the input and if anybody has suggestions on what I should do with it I am all ears because I have no use for it. I live on a big horse farm 30 miles north of the Susquehanna river next to a mountain in Pennsylvania I don't own a metal detector I
found it on the ground next to my guest house that the original part dates back to early 1800.

Sounds like prime real estate to swing a detector over.

UUMMMM.... You could always mail it to me! Welcome to TNet
