Hi GTB,
Yes, it's all very interesting indeed. Some further comments.
My second example, also has '& Son', so one would presume is of a later date than my first one shown or your example.
To place my two examples into more context:
#039 (I Nutting Covent Garden) is an Irish Militia button, tentatively dated at between 1783 - 1820.
#074 (I Nutting & Son King St Covent Garden) is a (Scottish) Local Militia button, so dates from 1808 - 1816.
Cheerio,
Roy
