R.W. Robinsons Extra gilted button from foundation site

[TrpnBils]

The farm fields I was hoping would produce today did not....at all.... but I did find an old foundation on the grounds that produced this button within the first 5 minutes. Lots and lots of iron in there so I am going back tomorrow morning to see if anything else will pop up. This is on private property behind locked gates and to my knowledge (and the owners') it has never been MD'd before so I've got to believe there's more there.

From a back-mark book I have it say's the Back-Mark "R. & W. Robinson" dates to 1836-1848

I don't have a book reference and got my info from another thread on this site. The back mark says "Robinsons * Extra *" Is that a different production date?

Found it....here's the thread I was getting those dates from: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/153393-need-id-help-two-buttons.html (3rd post). Incidentally, what's a good button book to look into getting?
