i have a button thats a bit smaller then a dime. around the top it looks like: garrantts. the 2th r could be a k? on the bottom: o; all in loves. in the middle there is a train coach on top of a heart. no shank or marks on the back. i will try to take a pix but have not learned how to take close ups with this cam, yet. thanks for any info

Re: button

Jon, it's a Carhartt's brand work clothes buttons.

The top reads CARHARTT'S; the bottom, O'ALLS & GLOVES? O'alls, of course, being an abbreviation for overalls.

The center design is a rebus (picture-word) for the company name: CAR [streetcar] + HEART = CARHARTT.

I believe these were used around 1905-25. Carhartt is still in business.

Compare yours to the one on the far left of the third row of buttons at:
