I enlarged it as much as I could but I still can't read the writing on the front. See if you can interpret that for us.

Seems to be Albert MS 19. Although my eyes are too poor to read the back mark, it may say rich quality London (MS 19a). As you said it's Masssechusetts and a post revolutionary (1788+), Beautiful button!
