Button, Faucet, make-up and a dinkie...

[romeo-1]

While waiting for responses to my musket ball query I went into the back yard of a neighbor's house...with permission...and found a red dinkie car, a glass topped faucet, an old make-up case (with red gloss still inside) and a button. The button is light so I think it is relativly modern? Any ideas?

This design first appeared on a U.S. Navy uniform button which was introduced in the mid 1800's and remained in use until 1941. Since that time, it has frequently been copied for use on civilian blazers, jackets, and nautical sportswear. You can see several varieties at the Waterbury Button Co. website. Here's a link to one example:
