Help Identify Button!

[Shark.tooth]

Hey guys this piece I found at an old carrage stop. Ive found many other buttons and buckles here. This one I can really make out the image and seems to be in good shape. Can anyone help me identify it?

Can you do a rubbing?

It's an etched tombac button and likely dates between 1760 and 1790. Some are plain, but the tombac alloy is relatively soft so many have elaborate circular or geometric patterned engravings.

Really nice looking button. It's in great shape.

Paleomaxx is dead on right! 18th century dandy button, and a dandy at that!
