I seem to recall a great paper by Sunshine Psota of Northern California on
stamped working pants buttons, but forget now where she published the
article.
I am sure someone in here will enlighten me.

New Zealand archaeology had a strong interest in typology and dating so a
lot of useful work has come out of there. This includes a hons thesis on
buttons from Chinese mining sites (Cameron) which was included in a Ph.D
thesis on Chinese mining archaeology (Richie).
Fiona R Cameron 1985 An analysis of buttons, clothing hardware and textiles
of the 19th C Chinese goldminers of Central Otago. B.A. dissertation,
Anthrop Dept. Uni of Otago, Dunedin.
I don't have a contact for Fiona but the univerisity might, they will
certainly know how to get hold of Neville Richie.
I also have a lot of buttons from my Cossack Ph.D research, which has never
been published (about 160 types from memory). These have been finely dated
into site layers of average 10 years duration so are potentially very
useful
for dating button types.
