I rolled into rtde3's (Rob's) place around 7:00pm Thurs. night,ate some pizza and drank a few chilly's and then I was introduced to the "Shark Pit"........needless to say I had to excuse myself Man what a display.....This is where "everything" make's sense,just beautiful.Thank's Rob 4:00 sharp we were met by Sea Biscuit and left MD headed for NC on the Magic Bus.

We finally made it down 9:30 and set up at the campgorund and right on time we were met by cwdigger(sittin') and dragon6banger(l) and then of course there's Rtde3(r.top) and good ole Floyd

99Brown is correct

Carhart button-early 1900's.

Great finds!

The heart shaped button, I am told, as I have a similiar one, is an early (not sure how early) Carhartt Brand Button. Hence the train/trolley car inside the heart shaped button (Car-Heart).
I have one that is similiar though i believe more like 1910-1920's time frame and I will try to see if I can find it and scan it. As for the age and anymore information on yours, I am sure someone will have it for you. PBK?

99Brown

Yep, I was just looking through to see if someone else had said it. There are quite a few different styles but I think you're right.

By the way, I've also found one in the shape of a heart. Haven't a clue where it ever ended up though.
