3 button day! can you make out anything on this one?

[up north]

Went back to the spot on the river where I found the 1808 Artillery button ID'ed here Thursday.
Found 3 more one piece buttons today. One plain, one marked ''plated'' and this ugly thing.
no backmark, because there is no back.
I know this isnt much to work with, but am hopiing that someone will recognize.
Thank you all.

I think its upside down. It looks like an early 1900's overall work clothes button depicting a train. I have some great pics but Im not sure the image thing is working for me.

The word "Plated" on the back of a pre-20th-century 1-piece button always meant the button was plated with silver. One-piece buttons which were gold-plated were marked with the word "Gilt."

BigCypressHunter, I sent you a PM, but your PM-box is full again.

It might be a sternwheeler/river boat motif rather than a train - also think the photo is upside down.

It looks like a riverboat BUT I put the train side by side and it appears to be a match but I havent figured out how to post images and I tried about 10x. I thought it was a good ID but I may be the only one that feels that way LOL.

I believe its a common but interesting work overall train button. There are several versions. Im not sure I have seen this button with a riverboat but Ill check my files.. If you can post a pic of the button may help.

All my old PMs have re-apeared, even though I deleted them on the old format
