Edde: Don't know if their the same, but there was a Doremus & Nixon, 21 Park Place, Nyc. They sold Ship's Dry Goods. Hope this helps, if not, too bad!

well well most certainly it does!!!!!!!thats awesome beth!!!!!!
im an idiot hahahahahahahahahah figured out what i did wrong

 

[EDDE]

Trested, Richard: Trested, who came to American from England, was a prominent die sinker in the 1820s, but only a few of his products (the Castle Garden token and his own advertising tokens; a nice article about this token is in our backlog for a future Rare Coin Review) are specifically signed. Russell Rulau believed he may have cut some dies for the Scovill Co. in Waterbury, CT, and may have done dies for early tokens of Doremus, Suydam & Nixon. In any event, by 1821 he was set up in business as a die sinker at 70 William St., an address soon changed to 68 William Street, which endured until his death (on January 13, 1829, from an infection arising from an amputated finger).

So you may have the button he was making when he smashed his finger, which led to the amputation, which led to the infection, which led to his death. Nice going!

the date of the tokens would fall in line with the period those buttons were prominent. That style of button dates from the very late 1700's - 1830 or so. Most buttons with backmarks don't pre-date the 1790's
