Flat button ID help

[Hutch911]

I found a small flat button the size of a dime the back marks says Extra Rich and Drangr with small stars and looks like leafs and a plain front. Can anyone help with the ID of it and possible age.

Thanks

Don't you just love finding buttons where the back is more interesting than the front?

Here is a link that explains "extra rich orange". Your button may have had a cap over the front with design on it.

So if I read the link correctly the button should be from around 1800-1850?

Thanks for all the help
