Button help

[Breezie]

Hey Gang, any ideas on this button? It has a British look to me, and I'm guessing one of the A's has to do with artillery. Thanks, Breezie

Hi Breezie - very cool button! Not sure if I am dating it correctly. But I think the winged wheel would be transportation associated - so maybe the "AA" is for "Automobile Association".

Like this idea -

Automobile Association-Motorcycle member's badge, UK, early 1950's, features winged wheel atop the interlocked AA logo, #69480Z, gold-tone plate on brass, 3" x 3.5", A- cond., (plating and surface wear).

Winged wheel and lightning bolts? I have seen these together on buttons. I believe they usually signify electric railway. But I could be wrong.



These are Swedish railway buttons.

Breezie, you might want to do some gentle cleaning on your button's back, to see if there's a backmark. I see what might be a letter "A" at about 9-o'clock in your photo of your button's back..

Following-up on BigCypressHunter's post of the Swedish Electric Railway buttons... the Swedish word for train is tag...which might be what the "T." on your button's front stands for.

Thanks BCH for the quick ID! Bramble, you were on the right path with transportation. Cannon, good eye on seeing the "A" on the back, as well as the information on the "T." It looks like this one is headed for a big ole green check! Breezie
