Description: | Incomplete, solid, die-cut, domed, silvered copper alloy two-piece livery button embossed with the head of a unicorn under a crown which is the crest of the Bassets, and was worn on the uniform of coachmen and the like.
The Basset family lived at Tehidy until the 1890s and this button is like another found with it which has the backmark or trade mark of Firmin & Co. Strand London, dating its manufacture to c.1875-1894.
The button is missing its attachment loop and is more corroded than the similar but larger button found at another site. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1875
