Nice find

These are old crossbelt plates, and I think most of this style date to at least the War of 1812. The attachment devices on the back are the most telling, with the two "puppy paw" studs being a brass wire flattened over a brass washer. They do not look like much, and usually do not have a design, but they are the real deal.

It is a good find. Hopefully some of the Eastern or Northeastern fellows will chime in on it.

Absolutely. Could be either British or American, difference in size, way it's made can put a date on it. 1812 period or slightly later. A real nice find, took me about seven years to dig one and that was probably digging 200 early buttons in the process.
