Found an old flat button today and need help in identification. It is 3/4 inch(19.05mm) with no pattern on the front. I was able to use a toothpick and reveal a sawtooth pattern on the back--or sunburst on the inner ring around the loop. Also could see a couple of letters "tch". Would lead me to think it might be a Mitchell & Talor(1845-1866) , an EE Pritchard(1840-1850) or maybe a Silver Plated Guaranteed(1810-1830). It does not appear to have any plating left. I posted 3 pics. Please let me know if the pattern on the back is helpful in id.

Thx
BrotherAl
