Really good details on that button, with some research you may be able to get the history of it.
I know I've never seen anything like it.

I've found flat buttons with designs but nothing like this. Wonder if it's as old as it looks.

Very cool button. We had a poor house here that burnt down a while back. I always wanted to cover that property but it had posted private property signs everywhere.

This one was torn down years ago and is now a bean field.

That'd be a cool place to detect.

Yes, very old building was poor house and then mental house and most recently used as a haunted house before fire. It's also a field now but private property

All of the K of P buttons I’ve seen have a lily on them. Flat buttons are typically before the 1860s. Why do you think it’s K of P tencents?
