Great job.

[@jackoshaw]

Have you ever saw, or do you have a Brass Button with the back stamp, George R. Nathan, Hamburg? Trying to ID this button... It has a Shield with three stars and a Horse..... Thanks..

[@jimthompson9992]

As always great info Chris!!

[@bradosbourne587]

Great info thanks a lot! I have a couple of flat buttons I dug last year with matching 4 digit numbers? I've research to no avail on what the numbers represent? Any idea? Thanks

[@BirdDogg]

What are the numbers?

[@bradosbourne587]

Fine gold surface 5583

[@BirdDogg]

Hmm. weird. Numbers on front or back?

[@bradosbourne587]

It is weird. I've found hundreds of flat buttons but these were the first to have numbers on them? Numbers are on the back

[@BirdDogg]

Off the top of my head I can;t say I have ever seen a numbered backmark

[@kentuckyrelichunter3244]

Hey buddy. Very well done and good information. KRH

[@janebailey2863]

[@BirdDogg]

Lol, Hi Jane, Hard to say what's up with that lol. Small village indeed.

[@geneoliver7988]

Nice buttons you have there. Not all from the button dump, right? Take time for yourself and family, especially during the holidays.

[@BirdDogg]

Thanks bud. Some of them were from other trips, just wanted to show some of each type I mentioned.

[@aldirtfisher3217]

ok to take a day off. no one will tell .have a good day.

[@DiggingCanuck]

Great info.

[@dugartmetaldetecting2418]

Very informative thank you

[@BirdDogg]

Glad to have helped!

[@starman9458]

I have a flat button with a broken shank and a silver side, it says LONDON PLATED on it. What year was those LONDON PLATED buttons made?

[@BirdDogg]

They were made through a wide space of time with that back mark but I would say you are likely looking at 1830’s-1850’s

[@Casual10]

Thank you for the tips !!! :)

[@cruzy1969]

what is your knowledge towards english royalty buttons for identifications? specially English civil war buttons 17th century. Probably made by thomas simon the Kings engraver.

[@BirdDogg]

Fairly limited, most of the buttons I find are American but I may be able to help if you had a question in mind

[@cruzy1969]

@@BirdDogg Thomas simon the Kings engraver made and designed rare coins medals etc plus he signed afew coins etc that made them very special and very rare, my question is did he do the same with buttons/cufflinks. Because we all know that charles 2nd loved his jewellery and dress ware.

[@BirdDogg]

@@cruzy1969 in a brief cursory search I can find no mention of him having done so but I would say it’s plausible

[@cruzy1969]

@@BirdDogg My thoughts completely. Hopefully something will turn up.

[@ctripps1224]

Hey I need help identifying a button I found while walking can anyone help me

[@BirdDogg]

[@BirdDogg]

[@charleswillsonpeale5739]

Hmm, I guess I'm first ?
