I found this button tonight & just spent 40 minutes searching trying to id it. I found a few close but nothing exactly like it. Any ideas?

I was trying to find your button online, and just happened to run across this old TNET thread that has a similar button.

The picture of the back shows it to be a 2-piece button which I think dates it to 1840 or newer.
