Found this the other day at a house dating to 1890. A one piece flat button with a shield and the word CLEVELAND on it. It was found at a similar depth to a few finds that were around 1900 or so... so I'm guessing this button is about that old... From my experience, I thought flat buttons were a little older than this... although I'm sure there are exceptions. Does anyone have any information about this button regarding age? There does not appear to be any back mark.
I googled Cleveland button and didn't really find anything. Maybe a more modern clothing button?
