Default Unidentified button - E Jones and son, Corkhill, Dublin

Hi there,

My Grandad has a button which he would like help identfying.

It was made by E Jones and son, Corkhill, Dublin. E Jones was making buttons at Cork Hill , Dublin from 1815 to 1832. The button has a crown on the top half and a 'D' on the bottom half.

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!

Hello SDevlin, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts.
An image of the button would be helpful.

Looks like a livery button relating to landed gentry or similar.
