OLD COLONY REVERSEABLE SCREW SHANK VAN COURT 6/2B Railroad Button Brass 1885-88

Description

Hello. Up for consideration is a Vintage Original circa 1885-88 Nickel/Silver Colored-Brass (magnet doesn't stick) Old Colony Railroad (Boston, MA. to Providence, RI) Employee Uniform Button with Reversable Shank for Non Business Wear that's in Excellent Condition. Looks all original showing signs of use but I don't see any broken or missing parts. I have not attempted to clean the button and the Shank is firm (does not wobble or move). Button is very shiny/brilliant/reflective with excellent color, graphics, design and clear sharp lettering. Measures 7/8 inches.
