Need help IDing this as well. Found in the same 1925 yard on my night hunt.

Any help would be appreciated.

Token?

Feels more like a wine covering. But why the railroad engine?

I need help!

Thanks for looking.

Re: Token?

Looks like the front shell of an early 1900's railroad work clothes (overalls) button.

Does it have any writting, dates or insignias on it It's hard to tell from the pics. I was thinking it was like a subway token or something from an amusement park for the train ride. What do you think about that

Acevillav,

No words that I can see. I have not cleaned it. It is paper thin. Not like a coin. I was thinking it was a lid to something. It's edges look like they were bent to cover a bottle maybe.

PBK,

You have any pic's of one of those. The yard is near a railroad track. And the station is nearby. So that could be a possibility.

Thanks,

I have a few of these.. found no where near a railroad. They have the post back on them just like a regular overall button.
