I'm finding similar pieces on the interwebs that are buttons. Can you please show us a pic of the other side so that we can confirm? Thx.

Maeli New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/27/2021 3:12 pm Thank you for your reply's!! Interesting, I'd never considered it could be a vintage coverall button. Neat, I could see that. I'll try here to post a pic of the other side. It's flat and very corroded. Edited by Maeli 12/27/2021 3:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
