Old Railroad Button?

[Hal2k]

Found this button on my wife’s grandparents home place, it’s a small button the size that would be on maybe a shirt cuff or coat cuff. Her uncle work for the railroad all his working career as a train engineer we think it may have come from a shirt or coat he would have worn. Maybe someone would know more about this button would be glad to hear your thoughts.

I moved this request from Today's Finds! over to Our Discoveries > What Is It? for more exposure.

Its so cool to be able to link it to family like that. I spend half my day wondering who owned the objects I'm finding.

That is actually a work clothes/overall button, of which there were many.
