Can anybody tell me about this? 3/4" diam. Looks like a pin. The back is all crusted and I can't tell if it's a pin or a button. Thanks

Wasn't "Union" a brand of overalls?

could be a reference to Joe Hill a union organizer around 1912-1915.

I like the Joe Hill idea too I just did some reading on the man
One web site says American Labor Union Leader might have been an election
thing ? they used to have these things with the names on it with a tab that
you bend to stick on your shirt pocket etc. the tab might have broken off on
the top ? i hope you don't mind i used your photo in paint to make it what i
think it looked like


Good Luck on an ID Mike

I don't know what it's made of. It's not lead. It's magnetic.

Thanks for the link! I was wondering how the Nevada cross-country skiing team was doing this year.
