Clean it up some. Can't tell yet.

It appears to be pewter but I can’t make out what’s up and what’s down

It's a 19th century US military button. I see an eagle holding a shield!

Is that a wing?

Head in the middle, wings on each side, shield. I'm not sure which button it is but do think it's military.

It's pretty close to this one. Probably around War of 1812. The photo is from this site: https://www.civilwarbuttons.com/infantry It's the pre Civil War section.

This should be better. The resolution on that screen-grab was pretty poor.

Oh Smokey I appreciate your knowledge so much. Where would you put it in the 19th century If you had to guess?

I love the military buttons from this time period and have only ever found one. Searching hard for one of the script ones.

I have found two script buttons from this place but all of my buttons have been from the War of 1812 are used to be a fanatic on all silver which I still am but I love finding buttons now.

Truth those are some great buttons. I don't think there is anyone who puts that much work digging through BRICKS than you do. Well done.
