Mortgage button

The "mortgage button" or "amity button" was a small decorative inlay often featured on newel posts in the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in American and European homes.[citation needed] It was used to hide joinery.[1] The name comes from the historical misconception that they represented a homeowner who had paid off their mortgage.[2]
