Possible bridle rosette

[donkarlos]

Found this at an early home site. Didn't find too much else yet just an axe head and a horseshoe. This is relatively thin but it looks colonial to me.

Half of a 2 piece button maybe?

I don't know - has a familiar looking plant on it though.

The few older rosettes I have dug have had a solid back that has been filled with lead, pewter or pot metal, the fronts also seem to be made of heavy duty copper or brass. Someone else will know for sure.

Agree. Bluebells button front. Could be late 19th - early 20th C. Hard to say for sure.

Excellent - thanks guys. You even guessed the timeframe of the site.

A bridle rosette needs a rather substantial attachment on the back. This has already been ID'ed, just saying if you find something in the future.

Thanks- good to know. Hopefully I will need that info in the future
