1820's-30's era flower button.

This style you have was common during this time frame, and floral patterns were a popular motif on buttons at the time.. Nice find.. GeoDiggerMike
 
This type (an "artistically-engraved" and "one-piece construction" brass button) dates from the latter portion of the European/American Colonial era. This type generally ceased being manufactured after about 1840. Getting more specific about your specimen, I'd estimate its date-of-manufacture to be sometime between the 1770s and 1830s.

Thanks for the info

I want to thank you for all the input. It is an awsome button find with age like that for a Michigan Button.
Thanks Again,
