Found this Trenton police coat button in the middle of my garden today. Made my American button company Newark NJ. I did some research, they were in operation from 1903-1920. It has a full intact shank too! I bought this house a year ago and didnt do the whole property yet. Found a 1943 quarter last week. I have a empty lot also which I found some old square head nails and some broken pottery. I think there was a house there long ago. Happy Hunting!
