We found a plain brass (copper alloy) button at a c.1790-1840
domestic/farm/mill site.  The backmark is LONDON*IMPERIAL or
IMPERIAL*LONDON.  I have not found it in any of our (mostly military)
sources.  Is anyone familiar with this mark, or can you suggest good
sources for non-military buttons?  Thanks in advance.  Lynn
