"WF" Button

[TheLittleMan]

I love finding pieces with fancy initials on them.
I found this button at the location of an old church in northern Illinois. Do you think it might be Wells-Fargo? A bit far for Wake Forest, and a bit too old for Will Ferrell! Ha.
How does one go about discovering the long-gone companies stamped onto old buttons?

This is a good starting point for your button research

Finding out how old it is first . The back of the button has a ton of information to give you

Post a picture of the back

Here is a little guide

This is the back of the button. It’s obviously a 2-piece.

I don't know what the "WF" button is, but I've found a lot of "WTF" buttons!
