Hey diggers,
I dug this button at a 1910ish house. It is the size of a quarter. The backmark is partially obscured but I can make out ...PORTING and then some little symbols (diamonds, spades, clubs, hearts?). The brahma bull depicted is quite elegant and very detailed. Any ideas on this buttons age or origins? Thanks and HH, Dave.
