Small plain button?

I found this button today while digging and also found the led its leaning on in the same hole.I put the other pics up next to the penny for size comparison. Do you know how old the button is?

Insofar as I've ever seen, that method of affixing the button's thread-loop to its back (by crimping the loop's feet under the rolled-over edge of the button's front) dates from the very-early 20th Century onward to the present. If I'm incorrect about that time-dating, I'm sure somebody else here will speak up.

have seen this type of shank - top with rolled under edges. Either crystallized tin, or brass, covered with black lacquer, etched pattern, or pictorial. Late Victorian/Edwardian. Google Tole button, see: Keep Homestead Museum examples.

Reminds me more of buttons used on furniture or mattresses not so much clothing
