Congrats on this find! Buttons are always good, and especially rare ones! :occasion14:
 

Congrats! I noticed in your other post the "work" buttons...the locomotive button and the "Jaynell" buttons are classic 1900-1930 work buttons, they are riveted and never meant to come off of a garment. The fact that you found two "Jaynell" buttons along with a ton of nails suggests you are in the area of a burned building. I highly suggest you work around where the buttons are coming from, removing all the nails as you go. Get a pinpointer to help clear the nails. The multiple buttons from one brand means a article of clothing once existed there and all of the contents in the pockets. (If any) Also look for early plastic combs or pipe smoking materials, glass shirt buttons. Take your time and enjoy.

"Jaynell" work wear as found in the 1922 "Garment Worker" publication

The Johnston-Larimer Dry Goods Company, Manufacturers of the well knwown "Sensible" and "Jaynell" brands of work clothing.
Wichita, Kansas 1922
 

Here are a few from that time period I found in a burned logging campimage.jpg


All of these buttons were riveted or studded and never meant to be removed from the clothing...image.jpg

Buttons that don't have the "donut" hole could be from Coats and could also be a "snap" type button.
Buttons with the riveted donut hole are usually work pant buttons that often held suspenders in place. image.jpg
