Lunch hunt today gives up very old button, Help with ID/Age?

milco · Jun 28, 2011

I went out today at lunch for a short hunt and found this old button. I found this at a spot where I have found many older coins but all from the 1920's - 1950's. This button appears to me to be much older than that and I would really appreciate anyone's help on determining it's age.

The button is just a fraction bigger than 20mm in diameter and the lettering on the back I believe is:
"Rogers & Brothers * Warranted"

I think it clean up pretty nice with just soap and water.

Without doing any research, its circa 1830ish. Put in pure lemon juice for 10 minutes, lightly brush with a nail brush & water, then dry. The gold will come up nice. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the reply, considering this response, responses on other forums, it's absolutely incredible to know it's approximate age given where this was found, thanks!
