Vintage Button marked Hudson's Detroit

I found this on a workbench in a very old shed on property we once owned in Wolverine, MI. The house had 7 generations of the same family in it. We found many interesting old items. We owned this property in 1975, so I've had this since then.

It seems to be plastic or Bakelite. I left all the crud on it, there are two stars between the words.

For someone like me who enjoys unusual items.

Founded in 1881 by Joseph L. Hudson, the store thrived during the record growth of the city of Detroit and the auto industry during the first half of the 20th century

The Dayton Co. of Minneapolis acquired The J.L. Hudson Co. in 1969 to form the Dayton–Hudson Corporation, although "The J.L. Hudson Co." continued to operate as a semi-autonomous entity.

In 2000, Dayton–Hudson Corporation took the name of its most successful operation, becoming Target Corporation, and one year later re-branded all Hudson's and Dayton's locations with the Marshall Field's moniker, an operation purchased by Dayton–Hudson in 1990. After being briefly owned by May Department Stores, the former Hudson's stores were acquired by Federated Department Stores in 2006 and all Marshall Field's stores were incorporated into the Macy's chain.
