Found this button washed out at the base of a tree while walking my dogs. Ive found almost no info on it so far. One sort of confusing post on a different forum is all I’ve came up with. They claimed to contact key and was told they didn’t make such a button. Love the font on it. I’d always love to know more about it.
Back is just rust.

I don't have any info for you other than, it's most likely off of work clothes like overalls.

I agree. Probably from work clothes / coveralls.

I did a quick search peek on USPTO.gov for "Kansas Brand", and only two images were returned.
One has a bull / steer, and the other one has something to do with paint.
So, I don't think either one fits -- and of course, it's certainly possible the "Kansas Brand" logo was never registered at the Trademark office.

Hmmm could be, but its a bit odd that prices are in euros and the page that tells about the company cannot be found... the tree I found it by is easily 50-70 years old and grew I’m what seems to be a small dumpsite next to an old farmhouse... I pick up bits of ceramic and glass after each rain and pulled out some spoons and other things... maybe they sold out to a company over seas.

Edit: through the link it wouldn’t load. I found the story page pretty quickly googling Kansas work wear. doesn’t say much but Kansas workwear is clearly European and seems to hint they are making clothes out of recycled bottles. I also found it funny their first shot was a long bridge over a large body of water... because we have a lot of those here in Kansas haha.
