Beautiful button find,but I definitely do not know anything about it.K.KID :icon_sunny:
 
Cool button It's a 1812 to 20 period navy button.
I. Moore was from Birmingham England and in business from 1780 to 1858

Thanks vayank54 I can't belive it is still in such good shape any idea the worth of the button
 
Would like to add that the company was commissioned to manufacture American uniform buttons from 1800-1830 (source: American Military Uniform Button Manufacturer Guide). I reckon the value depends on rarity and condition. Only some expert/dealer can tell it.

Yes, it looks Navy to me, the anchor is in the shield and if it was a Infantry it would have a script "I" in the shield and e.t.c.

Look close,the anchor is there :thumbsup:
 
Nice looking button, :icon_thumright:
 
That button is in nice shape. It books for $75 to $125. But with the bent shank it may go for about 60. That's just an educated guess though. Personally I wouldn't worry about the bent shank.
 
Nice button. Similar to this one, but different BM.

Great find!!! What state are you in???
