I found this button in the yard of a 100 year old house at about 4 inches. Does any one know the symbol or age?

I found this rectangular plate which seems to be made out of lead or pewter (heavy) at an older home site buried about 6 inches down. The front depicts 3 different depictions of a shoe (Side view, top view, and bottom view). I havent ever seen anything like this. My only hypothesis is that you would put ink on this and print it an paper. Maybe someone smarter can figure it out.

Metal firstly where do you live ,or rather where did you find the button because that can say a lot to start with.It looks sort of military but then it could well be a livery button.
 
Found the button outside of Portland Oregon in the yard of house built in 1910 or 1920. Found the shoe plate in Newberg Oregon in the yard of another older 1920s home
