Neat buttons .. I agree with nhbenz ...looks like they say MILFORD on them?

Kinda looks like it's giving folks the middle finger too!

Nice find!

Thanks, so far, all. Could Milford be a Baseball team or what? Too large for pants button?

I'm wondering if it's not a baseball glove. Maybe a topcoat button?



It looks like pockets and buttons on the front and MILFORD down the sleeve.

I agree with DCMatt. I don't believe it's a baseball glove, the 'thumb' part is too long and square. Looks more like a coat or jacket

Milford is a double breasted style of coat, and currently is manufactured by Belstaf of the UK. WTG Matt, this got pointed in the right direction.

Here's the other button I photo-shopped a little to bring out the design. I'm more convinced it is a coat.



I will mention that if it's a baseball glove, it's a lefty.
