Need Help With Button Id And Age

[Bubba65]

Hello all like the title says would like to see if anyone knows what this button is and how old it might be. I dug it about a week ago. Thanks for looking and helping if you can.

Happy Hunting,

Is it pewter or... ?

Any chance you can clean it?

Do you agree it's a woman in a dress or skirt?

Thanks ,

Try scrubbing bubbles and a q-tip or a toothpick.

I use all kinds of stuff to clean buttons, but... I will only recommend a toothpick and water.

Don't. It's about as good as it will get. Very cool early button!

Or don't!

I should have noted it's best not to clean it of you're concerned about value and petina, or resale. It's not something I'm ever worried about - but Iron Patch has good advice.

I was thinking the same thing, nothing will clean pewter better than it is. Looks great to me, 1780ish What do you think, never seen a Woman blowing a pipe/instrument?? Not military but very nice & early!

Nice button good advice on the cleaning, or in this case the none cleaning the depiction is Crusader shouting to shaun7 that he has just found another hammered

Funny how we all see something different. I see a knight on horseback holding a sword in back of his head.

I give that a chance. (Can see part of the horse's head)

Does that look like a drilled turret shank to you broken off?

oh yeah, sort of see it. So could be Military after all. Seen similar Horse back riders with swords.

no, not really

I think regular type loop, just raised a little more than normal.

Probably not, the vast majority are civilian.

The best that is military, is probably C. Light Dragoons, but the one above is not.

PS... I also have a very cool horse and rider button. I posted it several years ago but many people didn't seem to see what I see... what was very to me. I'm pretty sure it was just a matter of them not having an eye for buttons/detail. I'll post it in a bit.

My lead H&R button.

I see what looks like a woman with her back to us..right hand on hip..left hand behind head. *shrugs* lol.

Agreed..

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I see a woman with big feet, right hand on hip, drinking a Pepsi, but Im probably wrong..

I see your horse, Ironpatch, very clearly.

I see the mold mark on both these buttons that may help in dating them. Could the shanks be cast all in one piece with the button?
