Copper button

Hello. I believe I found an American civil button. “SUPERFINE LONDON COLOUR”

Anyone have any info about this?

Thank you

I think your button pre-dates the civil war by about 50 years.

The button appears to be a one-piece, which I think were more popular in the U.S. prior to 1830-40. Someone else on TNet will nail it down.

The other guys here have already nailed down your button.
Brass, originally gold-plated, one-piece coat cuff button, British-made, date wise 1820 - 60... nice that the eye loop is still there.
