I found these two items at a home built in 1746 and need help with ID. I found a similar button on a website that had photo's of Revolutionary War buttons, but not the exact one. I couldn't find anything on the hat insignia, but I am hoping it's from the CW era. The eagle buttons were found at a different site. Can anyone tell me if they are CW era buttons?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

THat Lewis & Tomes button is apparently bit older, various button collecting/dealer sites gives dates of 1820-1830 or so as their years of operating.

I'd say right on with what Voriax said. I found one of near identical design a few years back, mine was more mid 1830s... backmark makes all the difference. Pre CW :yes:
