Description: | Cast copper alloy button with a raised rosette in the centre, surrounded but two concentric rings of pellets, the outer one of which has larger pellets spaced apart, all within a rouletted edge. The back of the button has an inscription running around a soldered circular loop, but the letters are unclear, perhaps DOUGHTY & CO LONDON, who were making buttons from during the 19th century. These small buttons would have matched their larger counterparts as they were sold and used in matching sets.Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 74, Fig.9.279, which is dated from the 18th to the early 19th century.
