Help with a flat button and an 1829 Andrew Jackson

Found two flat buttons with my F75 at an old home site.

First button is an "Andrew Jackson President 1829", about 19.5 mm, listed in Albert's.

Second button I need help. Lewis & Tomes Extra Rich, about 19 mm, the design of the back mark does not correspond with any I can find. Can anybody help me with additional info on this button? I do not see a design on the face, maybe from the 1830s when the style was a plain face.

Thanks
Fred
 
1820-1832 probable dates of manufacture. Very nice buttons.

hi fred, nice buttons. here a couple of weeks back, i found an identical lewis & tomes button, only it's .520" just over half an inch, with lots of gold plate on it. the site jcj explorer led us to puts the manufacture from 1820-32. thanks, explorer! hh,
 
"LEWIS & TOMES." Button makers Edward Lewis and Francis Tomes were active in New York as early as 1819, and in Birmingham, England at least three years prior to that.

Appears a general date range of 1816-1833 Tice has that particular backmark as 1820's


NICE!!!
