Fishing button?

[Mainedigger]

Hit a private yard of an 1800's house and found this button that shows a guy fishing on the front. The rev. says Sporting Designs, Sept, can;t read the year, then on the lower part under two crossed swords it has the initials JC....anyone have any idea of what and how old on this button?
