Nice finds. Those are common back mark words for your button. Those one piecers were made by the millions, often in Britain up until the mid-1800s or so. Early to mid-1800s is a fair guess. As for the iron buckle I haven't a clue, but 1800s to early 1900s would sound reasonable to me. HH!

Let Dan and the others chime in but I think you're in the ball park with that button date. That iron buckle looks 1900s to me. :thumbsup02:
Your on some old ground. :yes:
Who knows what else might be laying around. Love finding old flat buttons!
Congrats! :grin:
I'd guess tack, but I'm no authority.you think a pants buckle? looks large for horse tack, but i am no buckle expert.
The plain front flat buttons and are usually the size of an indian head or nickel , they are very common and popular throughout the 1820 to 30's and the buckle is definitely a "tack" or harness type one .
