Alright, I'm completely stumped this time. This button came from the same home site. It's got no markings except a flower and a pattern on the edges around the flower. It's smaller than a dime (penny shown) and has a broken shank. The shank almost looks hand applied, but as you can all probably tell, I have no knowledge in old buttons, so I'm not sure. Can anyone identify this and age it or even give me a website to refer to? Thanks for all your help.

Flowers were EXTREMELY POPULAR when it came to buttons, without any markings it's gonna be tough finding a similar example...

Except for the flower being on them I see nothing that remotely makes the 2 similar at all, except of course the fact that they're buttons..[;)]

I'm currently navigating this website on a phone and won't be able to get to a computer until Wednesday. I will look at the links then. Thanks for them and I hope they help. Surprisingly, I've never seen a button with a flower like mine on the internet when I searched for it.
