Would like to see the letters better or have you type in what you can see... and, is that a horse, lion, or ? on the front?

MJ, I'm not sure if it is a lion or not I think so but the crown leads me to believe it's British. as for the back mark I get Fokson and rux on the bottom

Pretty sure made by A or J Fonson of Bruxelles (Brux) or Brussels, Belgium. A family run casting house with a long history of making buttons, medals, swords etc. From what I can tell they did a fair amount of work for countries other than Belgium. I think I see the British Union Jack within the draped shield under the rampant lion on the face of your button. (Can't trust my eyes.) I found a listing for your button also dug in Massachusetts placing its style around 1812.

Thanks, Montauk that will make him happy they don't list what it sold for though.

Not British as far as I can tell but the date fits well with many other Livery Buttons produced at that time.

The bit under the crown looks like a steam engines wheel..maybe a conductors button?
