Honestly, I cannot say if these are 1700's or not, I just know they are very old.
I found a second button last night in the same area I found the first a couple weeks ago.
I tried the flour trick and it helped bring out more details.
Now if I could just decipher the backmark:?:

awesome buttons!! I would reach out to Heavymetalnut AKA Dave Wise, he digs a lot of colonial stuff and might know what they are if they are 1700's or not.
 
Backmark shows it to be of German origin, but not much else.
Any ideas?

Those buttons are amazing. Great finds. I'll be watching to see what you find out about their history. Very cool.
 
Those are a neat find. Do you think they may have an Asian style to them.. Seems that person has a conical hat and there seems to be water lilys and tall grass. Just a thought . .. .
 
From what I read on another forum, the words on the back of your button just mean something to the effect of "registered pattern" and is not a company name. Assuming that's true, are there any other letters or symbols on the button backs? I'll keep searching for info....
