Dug a button this morning in old beach neighborhood down here. Figured it would be easy to find given the lettering "A.W. MILES & Co- 12 Brook St.", but have been unable to ID this thing. Any ideas anyone?

Gracias!!

A little bit of research and I found that A.W. Miles & Co. was a mercantile seller in London. I found advertisements in a newspaper from 1830 all the way to 1879. This is probably a button from a piece of clothing from that time period. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the research

Very much appreciate the research. Can't wait to share with the land owner. Found a 44 Merc their as well. Just scratching the surface of his place..... So cool!!
