Does anyone have any information on gilt buttons (brass buttons with quality
marks) manufactured by "W [William?]. Wallis? I have a brass button with a
quality mark that reads "W. Wallis/Triple Plated" from 33Wo50 (Orleans -
Queen City of the North) near Fort Meigs, Ohio. The date of this site is
1810-1850. Are there any archaeological sites on-line with Wallis buttons?

 

Digital images of the reverse and obverse sides of the button can be seen at
the following url link [ctrl+click]:
