Found this button any ideas. ///Solved Thank You Folks// Better picture on link.

[nova]

This button measures 1" 3/8 in diameter. I have never seen anything like it. Any help would be appreciated. There is no writing on back. It was found here in the beehive state Utah. I am wondering if it might be some sort of decorative button since there is no loop on the back. Like you normal see on older buttons

I would say early 1800's civilian button.
Just a guess

The link Nova added in the original post is an actual match of the button.

How do you posts pics from links? Also can all pics be posted if it doesn't state otherwise?

Ok figured out the pic posting.

Ah OK thanks. Better match. Its good to post the pic here because a year from now the eBay link will not come up. These "What Is It" TN posts will be great research some day. I remember when TN first started the server was not large enough for too many pics. I think its bigger now.

I dont know the copyrite laws. sorry. No one ever said anything to me. I remember once a member was asked to remove his avatar by the founder of a treasure pic used.

I dont know the copyrite laws but I always try to include the link with the picture, unless it is my own pic. That way they are less likely to complain about the free publicity to their site.
