Flat button backmark Culverwell

[Bramblefind]

I would guess this button is British. Haven't been able to find any info. as to the backmark - it reads "James Culverwell Warranted" Anyone have any info as to this button maker?

Thanks!

This could be him sounds right for the button being early 1800's.

Great stuff! Thanks so much for your help!

Using that info I was able to find some other references in Google books and from about the 1830s on James Culverwell was also listed as a silk merchant, linen draper and a "wholesale haberdasher" - that must be the guy
