Judith - If Ransome (note the e at the end as on the button) was a tailor then his products were almost certainly used by agricultural workers, who shed buttons (like us all) regularly during the course of their work. Buttons are a common find when metal detecting, this one is a rarity because it has a name on. He must have been a tailor of note to have special buttons made for certain garments.

Judith - it depends on what you mean by a good home. Your explanation seems likely if Bell Ransome was a tailor, particularly if he had a WW1 contract. Is this likely/

Found garment button whilst metal detecting yesterday with name of B Ransome of North Dalton on. Can anyone throw any light on this find?
