I found this on a new site... it was a farmhouse in north alabama. I was told it was a caretakers house and it was torn down in 1970. Can't tell you much more.. i will hunt the site more in depth over the next couple weeks and know a little more. I think the house was built in the 30's, my best guess.

It might be a "Spirit of St.Louis" commemorative button.
