Some ol' buttons

[keossvin]

Hello Tnet,
Went for a quick hunt yesterday and found some nice buttons and my first silver.

I got 2 of the same flower design buttons, and the other 2 are just round blank buttons.
They feel pretty heavy solid brass I would think.
Sorry for no comparisons they all are about 1cm in the width.

Any idea on how old these buttons could be ?

Looks like the Colchester site got it wrong again.
They are Tudor period - 15th-16th C;

I like finding these, means there maybe hammered nearby.

Just for added info they are all 'Sleeve Buttons'. Multiples went up each sleeve.

In the 3rd photo, button on the right has a different shank attachment. I believe that is a 1700's style, isn't it?

Probably, I'm only looking at the 2 flower types. The one you refer to is later & the one next to it maybe a plain Tudor type but hard to tell.
