This is about as close as I can find in Albert's button book, but I still don't think we have a match.

It looks to me like this one recently posted -- a civilian style:

Sorry, its definitely NOT military. Its a very common civilian button made in a Navy motiff. This fashion design has been manufactured for about 100 years.

looks like early 1800's to me

How many early 1800's buttons have you seen with a tin backing?
The I.D. is correct. Late 1800's at best. Most likely 20th century.
Cheers,
