Silver searcher, your buttons are really interesting, especially the "Spencer" backmark. I've been reading through known British backmarks and so far haven't found that one. Is it common over there? If it is not listed as a maker it very well could be a political backmark, such as we have over here with the "Monroe", "Jackson" etc. backmarks.

HI Johny...

I know very little about buttons :P it's only just lately I have shown a interest I think the reason is because of the GW's posted recently

I shall in future take a bit more notice, I'm getting quite attached to them and the history of them

If you have a 1000 buttons I think your better ones are still to come. They're just not as pretty.

Basically it's the military. Numbers, regiment names, anchors, cannons, thistles, anything with a crown, & tudor rose design is a good start. Usually the earlier the button, the better it will be.

I think you have seen most of them I have, the rest are just plain old buttons, different sizes and metals, but I will keep looking
