Description: | Incomplete pressed copper alloy naval officer's button, circular in plan and flat in profile. The face of the button has been stamped with a large central anchor, with a smaller anchor below and on either side, all within a plain border.The button is bent on one side and the remains of the integral loop on the back of the button has been encompassed by corrosion product.Bailey (1992) illustrates a similar example on page 27, No.21, which he identifies as a Master's button, dating to c.1807, and thereafter it was used as a Captain's button.
