Hi. We can find this legend EINGETR FABRIK ZEICHEN and a five point star (pentagram) with inner circle in numismatic buttons, token and , also, in oil lamp knob (picture: cufflink similar to 2 1/2 dollar). It is in german language, meaning: " registered trademark" but I cannot find what factory is. It was active during second half 19 century, and early 20. Any information is welcome. Thanks in advance  |

You will find this on products indicating that the design is protected like you can find 'copyright' on written material without the author being named. It is not used by only one manufacturer, so you cannot trace the specific manufacturer just by having that stamp on it, you need extra information - try to find out who used that five pointed star with a little circle in it (which I can see on your picture).

It is the star which I have been following. The output is prodigious. Latin America in particular is a happy hunting ground for these, particularly with regard to tokens, buttons and flame regulators.
The item illustrated by Veton appears to be a collar or shirt front stud. A first for me.

I suspect that it is a shirt cuff stud for a ceremonial or formal (military?) suit or uniform. The plating has long since gone, of if brass, long since lost it's polish.

I am agree, it must be a shirt cuff stud (in spanish we use the same word for these and for two similar buttons in each side); and, of course, it is the pentagram with inner circle the logo,s factory we look for.

This is intriguing. As I understand it, buttons depicting the Spanish coat of arms were popular in the 19th century both in Spain and the Americas. This touches on my interest in the era of Isabel II. I've been searching for source information on potential counterfeiters during that era and suspect that button manufacturers may have played a role. However, I've been struggling to find verifiable information to connect manufacturers and persons of that era with a given example.
I hope others can provide additional info on this button manufacturer(s) as a step along the way.

Hi. I refresh this topic. There is a link between five points star logo and Gebrüder (brothers) Kugel brand name:  Also, we can associate that logo with G.K.L. initials:  So, buttons, tokens, flame regulators... with five points star, EINGETR FABRIK ZEICHEN or G.K.L., must be Gebrüder Kugel artifacts. In 1795, Gebrüder Dicke established a metal buttons factory in Lüdenscheid (Kingdom of Prussia, today Rheinland Westphalen, Germany). 1825, associated with Kugel, brand name is Gebrüder Dicke & Kugel. In 1853, Dicke & Kugel. And in 1871, firm become controlled by Kugel brothers, the brand name was Gebrüder Kugel till 1907 when they partnered with Fink, then used as trade name Gebruder Kugel & Fink (backmark: G.K. & F) used in military buckles and other elements during I WW.
