✅ SOLVED Help me ID this jeans rivet

[SkyPirate]

I found this jeans rivet at a site that dates 1800's-1950's. I can make out the word "Blue" and a large "V" at the bottom printed in blue paint. Anybody know what brand it may be and the date? Any pictures would be appreciated.
My friend found a "LEE" jeans rivet in the same area. The letters were written not printed.

I think Levi Strauss & co. were the only blue jeans maker at that time frame.

I can see the word "jean" after the word, "blue" and the "V".

I think it's "Blue Gem" I found an ad from 1959 online.
