Found this while going through an old Plantation. Anyone know anything about this type of button. Approx 1" across, Molly Pitcher with Canon in back ground. Any info would be appreciated.

Do you have a pic of the back? Is it a pinback?
This looks like a repop of yours
A very cool subject on this button. Molly Pitcher shown loading a cannon at Battle of Monmouth.
One of the Historic button series that were first issued in 1876 for the Centennial, with strikes through the century, including a 1976 series which this button is. It is listed in Alberts UU 171 C.
Sorry, I forgot the link in the repop comment: https://www.etsy.com/listing/208257511/vintage-molly-pitcher-loading-the-cannon
Hi! I know you posted this a while back, but I'm wondering where you found your button. Which plantation? I'm from Monmouth County, NJ, about 5 minutes away from where the Battle of Monmouth took place. I recently bought several of the reproduction ? Buttons from a local historian. One seems older though and looks more like yours. Did you manage to find anything out?
