Hello btns
Many thanks for that very useful bit of information.
This would possibly date the button to about 1867 on when the partnership of Dain, Watts & Manton, Button Manufacturers and Merchants of Regent Street, Birmingham, was dissolved in favour of one between 'Watts & Manton'.
Possibly the 'new' firm of 'Watts & Manton' continued to use an existing trade mark, in which case the button could be a little earlier.
