Mass Button- ID Help please!

[JeffInMass]

Found this Mass button at an 1800's homesite today- can anyone give me some info on it- I can't seem to find a match for both the obverse and the reverse. Would greatly appreciate any assistance!

Thanks!

Agree... It's loaded with gilt. Would look great. Looks like just a few minutes to clean as most of what's on there seems to be dirt.

Yeap, its a safe bet, or I would not have recommended. (2 minutes at a time, until happy)

Treble Gilt, that's me baby yeah! She had gold all over her at one time. Sorry can't read the rest, two piece puts it in the 1800's I'd think, my button ID ing sucks, lol
Nice find brother.

Agreed on the great amount of gold left Treb, but I do believe its a one-piece button.

That's a beauty and as Cru said that will be a stunner if cleaned properly. Congrats
