Description: | Cast solid die-cut copper alloy flat circular button embossed with Maltese cross, alternating with four inset triangles, with the manufacturer's name on back, and a reference to the quality of the gilding, in this case "ORANGE GILT: STAND COLOUR". None of the gilding survives, however, as the button is so corroded.An example of a similar reverse is illustrated in Crummy (1988) on page 94, Fig.102, No.3611, from a demolition layer which is dated from c.1725-1972.Bailey (2004) illstrates a similar button with a Maltese cross on page 74, Fig.9.271, which is dated from the 18th to the early 19th century.
