Hmmm Bummer. Initially I felt it could have been one of the 2nd Foot guard (Coldstream Guard) Buttons, or 3rd Foot (Scots Guards) listed in "Military Buttons of the American Revolutionary War by DonTroiani, but further research shows a no match.

I'm sorry. Very nice Civilian Pewter button!

Definitely a 1700's Pewter Button, it looks alot like a military button but I believe its civilian as well, you never know though, it could've been used by some colonial in the Revolutionary War. Great Button!!

Thanks everyone for all the help,this tavern site has produced lot of coppers and buttons all from the 1700s,but now all the ground is being torn up by tree cutters taking big oaks and exposing a lot of new targets.
