    Oklahoma button

    I dug this button at about 3 inches in North Eastern Kansas yesterday. The size of it is just a bit smaller than a dime.
    I hope someone on here might be able to tell me something about it.
    It has on it:
    The Great Seal Of Oklahoma 1907
    I can not exactly make out the letters in the center.

    Thanks for any help !

    Re: Oklahoma button

    Thats spelled OKLANOMA(2) lol. Its an imitation button of the Great Seal of Oklahoma(1). I dont know who or why they were made with a misspelling. My guess is civilian blazer.

    Someone found one that says OKLANDMA 1807(3)

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    The bakelite looks to be the match. Even the shank is the same.

    Just found one of these today. Tiny little button, the backing is gone and the gilt is falling off. I'm going to use clear nail polish to save whats left.

    It should be noted that 1907 was the year of statehood for Oklahoma. Monty
