Hey Salvet66, Nice find

I looked up the French 85th regiment and there button looks different. But this is what it says about them.
Saintonge Regiment,United States May 2 1780 to June 1783. Raid on Lloyd's Neck, July 1781, Siege of Yorktown, VA Sept to Oct 1781.

Hope this helps some...Lance

Salvet66-- The number is 85 or it might be a button off a piece of childs clothing, if you turn the picture #18 clockwise it looks like two eyes and a smile with a dimple.
