Pewter button ?

[keossvin]

Hello Tnet,

Found this piece today, heavy like lead but doenst seen to have the typical lead corrosion. Looks alot like button but don’t know if there ever was a shank on it. Anybody who reconizes this piece and tell the date ?

Thanks !

You do get lead buttons like this from the 16-17th C.

Crusader is correct. 16th to 17th century button. The common name for it is a "nipple" button due to the dot in the center.
