I found this button the other day and I would like to know how to clean it up, it is wet in the picture and it says treble gilt on it I believe

My experience with my flat buttons, of all shapes sizes and metals, is they don't clean well. The Gilt will come off easy too. Maybe a light but of tooth picking and leave it.

I agree.

IF the Gilt is in good condition then a little Navel Jelly will remove the dirt from the gilt.
There is a thread here about how to use Navel jelly to clean gilt buttons.
Search for it.
