Button Identification....

I was hoping to find out more about this button... How old maybe as well? The back is missing it separated from the loop. Found is a ghost town dates back to about 1900.

Thanks!

"Are you sure they are uniform buttons, and not maybe from overalls. I'm going to take a shot and say they are from "Sweet, Orr & Co.", a New York firm that made overalls."

Looks like a RR button. I'll try to help asap. Nice find.

Thanks Rook, I think bologna is right that it's a Sweet Orr. And Co Overall Button... I did find this in a ghost town that was established circa 1901 and this was mining ghost town...
