Sioux brand button

[doomfan]

Found this Sioux Brand copper button and what looks like a knurled knob with UDCO on it..
Just started detecting and I am having a blast..theses items and the quarter were found at Amedee, an old site that was hopping 150 years ago.
Has anyone ever seen these items before? Those initials have me bugged.
Cheers!

Never saw a button marked like that - still you have some nice finds doomfan.

Anytime you find old buttons and silver it's a good hunt. I'm still waiting for my first Barber quarter. HH

Hello doomfan,

Welcome to TNet & thanks for showing us your finds.

I suspect the UDCo. knob is from a United Drug Co. item. They were the parent company and supplier to the Rexall Drug stores from 1902.

Wow, thanks for all the replies, and the info on that knob!! Here is an old time shot of the hotel that was the center of town where I have been looking
Also a closer shot of that Siuox Brand button with the Indian in full headdress. If anyone has seen this around I would like to hear! Cheers to more finds this summer! I'm hooked!
