Ever seen a button like this?

Found this button in a field that has been giving up Indian head cents, a shield nickel and two civil war era general service buttons along with other mid to late 1800s items. It is a two piece button and the back is missing. Also it's the size of a dime. Thanks!

It is an overall button

Nice find. Looks like an old steam train button. May have been from a railroad employee overall.

Thanks for the help I've never seen one with a train on it before.

I think that might be an old Carhart button

According to the Pictorial Overall Button book, there are well over 100 different overall buttons with trains on them.
