The English button making industry underwent major technological changes
during the 18th c. The answers to your questions will vary to a significant
degree if you are talking about the early 18th c. or the late 18th c.
Although there are a number of other references out there, I suggest that
you take a look at the following publications for some of the answers you
seek.

1995 A Structural and Functional Analysis of Eightenth Century Buttons.
Volumes in Historical Archaeology, no. 32. South Carolina Institute of
Archaeology and Anthropology, Columbia, SC.
Albert, Alpheus
1977 Record of American Uniform and Historical Buttons, 1775-1976.

sort, refer to sources in the attached bibliography (MS-WORD 6.0).

> I am seeking the expertise of those who have handled genuine

> compelled to give him the best available answer. Part of my problem is
> the lack of written archeological sources available.
>
> 1) How common are pewter and brass buttons with flat faces as
> opposed to the same buttons with slightly rounded (convex) faces? With
> what kind of comparative frequency are convex-faced buttons found on
> archeology sites of our period? Didn't everyone use flat buttons?
>
> 2) Which sort of button cost more to produce and thus was more
> expensive in the 18th century: one piece pewter or brass buttons, or
> two-piece buttons with a thin stamped front over a bone or wood backer?
> This may seem obvious, but the latter has been found in so many sites in
> large quantities (Ft. Michilimackinac, Ft. Stanwix, Ft. Ligonier) that
> it may have been in much larger use. Were the two-piece buttons cheaper
> than we think? Did the cost of pewter or brass fluctuate in the latter
> half of the 18th century? Why didn't armies use simple bone, wood or
> leather buttons on their uniforms to save expenses?
>
> Certainly no one today makes a close reproduction of two-piece
> buttons. I know that Don Troiani will be publishing a book *someday*
> about 18th century buttons, but it never fails that the questions come
> up just when no easy answer is at hand.
>
> So are there any takers to this question? I plan to forward
> your answers to my skeptical friend: thank you in advance.
