Button ID and age help???

[lokkenpa]

I found this button in a sidewalk tear out in OKC. I was able to get the top of the button good enough to get the bellow imprints but the back is going to take a while to get all the crusting off of it...

Any help with an ID and age would be help full...

I'm gonna take a guess and say it was made in 1907.

From wikipedia:
"Formed by the combination of Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory on November 16, 1907, Oklahoma was the 46th state to enter the union."

There are a lot of repro Oklanoma and Oklandma blazer buttons showing up but I think yours is an authentic original. Nice find. I hope you can clean it up. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,296651.0.html

While Oklahoma was the 46th state to enter the union, I think the button if from the New State Ice Company in Oklahoma City.

A friend of mine suggested that it came from New State Shirt and Overall Mfg Co.. Did a google search on them and came up with a legal document...

Anyone know where to get some corporate documentation on them? I have been striking out on the New State Ice Co. as well... All I have found is legal documents... Even tried looking for uniforms for the company...

Thanks for the help in advance!!...

Okiesharpshooter found a New State Shirt and Overall Mfg Co button but didnt post the pic. Maybe you could email him for a picture to possibly eliminate that possibility. http://www.tesoro.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=12164

He is also a TN member. Goes as sharpshooter. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=248908.0;imode http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=248908.0;imode Send him a PM.

bigcypresshunter - I am impressed with your research abilities!

Sharpshooter is the guy that I hunt with. He is the one that mentioned the Overall Company. Speaking of which, I can eliminate that company as the "snap" does not match the button that I have...

However, it is looking more like the ice company as the days go on...

Once again, thanks for the help in advance...
