Hi everyone. I metal detected this old shank button near an old hospital in NC that was built in the 1850s. It is 3/4" in diameter. Does anyone know if this button could date to that period? Also, can anyone tell me about the manufacturer? The back of the button says something like "Hartshornes & Sons". I also see a couple letters closer to the shank. Maybe "TA"...
