Flat button?

[neodetectorist]

I found what I think is a flat button. If it is, it is my first. I am very open to opinions and information from T-Net.


On the back it has
WATERBURY CO'S.
WATERBURY CONN.

Thank you

Oy, I'm sorry to say it's not a flat button. It's a two piece. I'm not checking my references when I say this but I believe "Waterbury Co's" came in the 1830's and beyond.

Still, a great find with lots of gilt!

Congrats!!!

I'm glad you're open to opinions because my opinion is that your button rocks. Grats!

I'm not sure if mine has the same makers marks but I dug one just like it a long time ago and it's a old police uniform button! [emoji106]
