I found these buttons in my backyard about 20 feet apart, similar depth.
I was wondering if they might have come from the same article of clothing and how old they might be. I believe the larger button is Pennsylvania Railroad. Both seem to have similar backgrounds, which is why I think they might be from the same (?coat?)
I looked on some PRR sites and found the larger button, not an exact match, but very similar. No dates attributed to it.
Any help would be appreciated. My house is about 200-300 yards from an 1800's train station/depot. Tracks are still active today. These were found in my backyard, house built 1910... lots and lots of iron... may possibly have found part of an old lantern as well.
