Green1, nice finds.
I can't help much with the button but the lock looks like it could have been used by the railroad. Here's a RR lock similar to yours that I found a while back.



Take care,

Is that a letter "N" on the bottom of the button?

 

[Green1]

yes jim,, it is...... any ideas ??

 

[Montana Jim]

yes jim,, it is...... any ideas ??

Not really anything I would commit too... been looking for a bit now.

The only button I found with an "N" on the bottom was a Cadet Button with an "NU" on the bottom from Norwich University, VT. Yours is kinda tough to see, so I just don't know.

Thats all I got for now.

I really can't tell but it looks like an eagle with possible stars?

It appears to be a phoenix button.

It appears to be a phoenix button.

I'm gutted, when I first saw it I thought it looked like a phoenix but wanted a better pic to be sure. Although I thought it more likely a phoenix livery button.
