What is a Louisianna plantatio bragger button?

A Bragger button was seen primarily in the southern United States. In the southern states in the late 1700s through the 1800s it was customary for a plantation owner to place a hand made button on top of the post of the interior main staircase to signify that his home and land were owned outright with no monies due toward the eventual ownership...meaning, that there was no mortgage owed on the plantation. Bragger buttons were fairly small (about the size of a silver dollar) and were permanently affixed to the middle of the main staircase post. They were generally made of Ivory or bone and were hand-carved with the owner's initials or a family crest design.

What does the custom mean when an unmarried man finds a button in the plum pudding?

Basically, it means nothing! I'm 72 and English. Traditionally, the Christmas dinner my family would have sat down to in Liverpool, England, would be a turkey dinner and all the trimmings. Only when the pudding was served would warnings of beware of the 'silver sixpences' (old English coinage saved over many years just for this Christmas occasion) be issued by the more mature family members to the younger (children) generation. Children would be warned not to swallow the coins should they find one!If an unmarried man finds a a button in his plum pudding, he should be grateful that he has avoided swallowing the button (and check the button on his trouser flies is still there) and nothing else. Anything else is simply superstition!
