ShaunC86 Posted 1 August , 2021 Share Posted 1 August , 2021 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if these are buttons from a military uniform? Looks like a compass with a magnet, not sure if they have any meaning or if it's just a design. Thanks Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROGSMILE Posted 1 August , 2021 Share Posted 1 August , 2021 It’s not any button that I recognise and they are a very specialised area. I recommend you join the following website and post your inquiry there: https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They operated a large number of tramway systems across the UK. The button appears to be chrome -plated which dates it to the mid-1930s onwards. Pete.
