Button ID Request

[Cantstopdigging]

Hello Forum,

I found this button, and it appears to have writing on the face. Has anyone found one like this? Any help to identify it would be great. I found it in an area where I found a coin from 1727. Thanks for looking!

That was an interesting button as it showed anything more when it dried up?

Reminds me of a 1930 work clothes button. They had lots of catchy names, yours may say gear
