Hi all, made it back out to Kemper Military School and found one wheat, bunch more clade and several militarty insignia's. (Forgot to tell ya the first Kemper post I did, that this was the place they filmed Chucky back in the 80's.)The larger button I posted for an ID help. :confused: Good hunting everyone, thumbsup01


UPDATED = After finding a companies name (Pettibone Bros.) on the back of this button, I pulled it up on line and they were a Military Clothing Manufacturing Company that made clothes from 1880-1920 and Brass Buttons from 1903-1917. On the web site Worthpoint.com, they actually show this button. This is my 4th oldesT American find to date. |:cheering: Good hunting everyone. thumbsup01

Very nice hunting, sounds like a nice place to dig, doesn't the large button have KMS for Kemper Military School on it also?
