Northern Pacific Railway Button need help

[washingtonian]

My brother and I were able to get out to detect today for close to 6 hours which was great in Tacoma. We went to where there were some houses recently demolished which is where I found the Northern Pacific Railway button. I don't know much about it but I believe it is from the early 1900s although I can't tell for sure, and I can't find this exact button on ebay. We searched this area for a while without turning much else up so we proceeded to try a park. At the park I found the old lighter with a portrait of Benjamin Franklin on it. After this we had hunted for about 5 hours and decided to try one last spot. It was here that I found the 1920 wheatie, 1958 dog liscense and Washington State Tax token which for some reason has a nail through it? Anyways we hunted till our batteries died and called it a day. Any info anyone might have on the button would be much appreciated thanks!

Nice little bunch of finds, I'd have to say I like that taxi the best

Just a guess but I would say the tax token was used as a washer for the nail....in whatever it was holding.
