N.H. White company made instruments started making trombones withthe king name around 1895, and was once known as the standard of the world. They also marketed other instruments under the king name. Is it possibly a valve button from a brass instrument? Just a thought.

In 1908 Cadillac was "King" and their motto was "Standard of the World"

Just throwing stuff so far, hoping something sticks.

I like the trombone idea though.

The patent is for the collar button. The writing on the button is for Caddillac, NH White or something else.

I found this-http://tinyurl.com/25vzyuh so I guess it could be the same button. It's a long link and I couldn't find it in the link but it's for a wholesale company in Canada in the early 1900's called Gordon Mackay & Co. Ltd. or something like that. So I think it's just what it "says" is, a "just it" collar button.
