This is a button I found this spring. It was found in the woods adjacent to a park. I have not been able to find records of homes or farms where the woods stands, so I can't give you an idea of when people lived here. I suspect it was at the turn of the last century. The button is flat with the image of a boy or man riding a highwheel bicycle. So doesn anyone know what company made this button or about when it may have been produced? Thank you!

Yep, that's it. I looked at so many button pictures and never found an image of this. I had really hoped it was much older than that. I thought given the image, it would at least be from the period of high wheeled bikes. So much for my assumptions! Thanks.

I should have done a more recent search before posting. I found the button months ago and at that time I did a Google search for "vintage bicycle button" but that image never appeared.
