I think the other button might date from 1823 -1829, but I can't find that specific backmark in any of my references. A. Benedict formed a company in 1823.The company was reorganized in 1829 as Benedict and Coe. In 1834 it became Benedict and Burnham. In 1843 it became Benedict & Burhnam Manufacturing Company.
