I found this interesting button hunting a site in Raleigh NC. The inside looks like the shell of a golfball! lol any ideas?

Not trying to be difficult But I did a search for "dimpled button" and found this. It doesn't look like the rim is the same but it's pretty close on the rest of it.

The pictures came from the bottom of this link

I guess you shined a light on it to verify that is is indeed a reflector. What color is it, yellow? It may be an old style reflector from a sign.

The color just seems to be worn off. Im sure it just "shined" in its day! lol

It probably is bicycle but these reflector buttons were very common on old signs. I will try to find a pic.

I cant seem to find a dimpled sign reflector on a quick search but here is the idea.
