GREAT FINDS ! I would go back to that place and look some more !
Let the button soak in oliveoil for about 2-3 days and clean it up with a really soft toothbrush and let me have another look at the picture afterward. The dog tags will fetch a good price and I believe the other item is an adjuster for a dog collar....Not really sure. Please post me another pic. after the button is cleaned up and let me know what it says on the reverse side.:reindeer:

P.S. Your button may be from this period:

16 Star Flag -unofficial- (U.S.)

That's a great collection of finds. I have never found any dog tags (except my own). You just might have the start of a decent display. Keep it up...
