🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Can anyone dicypher this lettering on button?

[Nathan W]

Found at my lunch hunt site. I've found several buttons here, some overall type. It appears to say Santa- something??

Maybe Santa FE , maybe a railroad button?

I think that second "a" is an "o". The rest is pretty toasted though. Santorvis, maybe? A search on that doesn't find much though.

It says "Sanforized", which is a process for pre-shrinking fabric before making it into a garment.

Hi Nathan W,
It apears to be a Token with the first part Santa (something). (Santorini, Santa Fe, Santa Rosa etc.)
Could you verify which State or country you found this?

Easy one. I’ve seen it before on other buttons. The word was registered as a trademark for overalls (among other things) by the GTB Holding Corporation of Delaware on 29 August 1944 and cancelled on 2 May 2016 after failure to renew.
