Catalog of button backmarks
Backmarks bearing "Philada"
George Armitage, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, made buttons 1799 to 1826. The buttons bearing "Philada" are an old style of presentation of "Philadelphia".
Most information on this page is from Tice's book, Dating Buttons..., the pictures are generally from buttons that I have handled.
Philada01 (20mm)
"PHILADA. (dot) (space) (dot) " rm, made by George Armitage,
Philadelphia 1815 to 1825
Note this die stamp is frequently off center, and the die break in front of the
name and over the "H" is visible on most examples.
Tice page 97, Armitage count item 12, with modification.
Back pictured is from VA1, Virginia state seal one piece button (B4414)
