I know it's probably just a civilian button. I'm thinking early 1900s?.. Just to see if anyone can date it for me, I hope you can see the back mark of the button.

Some will have the button book and be able to date it for you. I’d say 1860’s-1940’s. Google the markers mark and see what pops up. Nice find, I love buttons

I would say mid 19th century. It's a pretty button.

I love oak leaves and acorns. Two of the acorns have dropped from the caps so that tells you it's September. Gary
