Im hoping to uncover some information about this sandpatch tag, it was found near the 1860s button.

First welcome. Can you pic us the reverse side of the button? The tag may have come off a rail car.

In 1916, the H.S. Kerbaugh Inc. company was located at 700 Telephone Building, Buffalo, NY. They were contractors and in February of that year they were bidding on a Barge Canal Work.
