Elusive button maker
I have a silvered large Victorian HAC (Infantry) button but can find no information on the maker, possibly because of possible misconception of the name. It appears to be TRATER & Co. LONDON, but could just as well be PLATER or FLATER. However, none of these names turned up. Appreciate and assistance

Hello GTB
Might I suggest 'Prater & Co London' as one possibility. I have a record of military buttons with this backmark. Regards Roger |
Hi Roger
Yes, must be Prater - I don't know why I wrote Plater!!! How absolutely silly of me not to double check my typing. Sometimes the keyboard stubbornly takes on a mind of its own. Do you have a time-frame for this maker? GTB |
Hello GTB
Not much help date-wise I'm afraid. All I have recorded is that the backmark appears on buttons dating from the mid to late Victorian period. Roger |
Not to worry. I was mulling over whether to assign button to pre or post 1881
