Button

[SOG Fielder]

Any ideas? Looks like the top of a 2-piece button. No back or shank.

Thank you!

Wow, thank you! Really appreciate you getting me to the right spot and for all the button information. Those are great resources. I’m new to TN so the direction is very helpful. 😊

I don’t think that’s a button. I believe it’s a knurled metal cap (or the top part thereof) for something sold as a cream or lotion in a tube.

The monogram is that of Lehn and Fink of New York NY (and later as Lehn & Fink Product Corporation), as seen on the cap for their ‘PEBECO’ toothpaste in this 1922 advertisement:



Toothpaste is not the only possibility. The company was both a manufacturer and licensed distributor for a wide range of skin and personal care products sold in tubes. They introduced ‘Lysol’ to the US and also sold an antiseptic shaving cream containing Lysol in similar tubes as well as holding the rights for ‘Nivea’ creams. A whole bunch of other things too.

They used different stylings of that “L&F” monogram over the years. For example, this was the styling used in 1894, so your cap is probably 20th Century:

Awesome ID! Thank you for the reply and all the history. Love the advertisement. Additionally, it’s very helpful in dating the site where I found it. I think it was active from roughly 1850 - 1910s.
