Default Button Experts - Would Like To Date This Button

I've made out the words Plated and Newbould (I think). Can anybody give me a date range of how old this could be or what Newbould is because I couldn't find anything on the Internet about it. Thanks.

After some searching it appears that buttonmakers Holy & Newbould operated in Sheffield, UK...from late 18th century onwards. I also found British silverplate maker Newbould, apparently the same company. So I'd guess your button is from them but the age...

Very interesting. Thanks for finding information about them, I appreciate it. There's not much about Holy & Newbould on Google.
