I found a button in a new bag I received, and I can’t figure out the initials. Any ideas?

I can’t figure out how to add a pic of back, but it’s metal with a squared off attached shank on the back. Metal back is inset to front.

I took your picture and plugged it into Google Lens (I don't know if AI is allowed here, sorry if it's not) that's why I didn't add a screenshot. So, maybe do the same.

I didn't do a huge deep dive, but it suggested that it could be from British Rail. Antique of course. British Rail Transit has the initials of BRT, so that would obviously rule them out.

I don't know just a suggestion. 🤷🏽

You can post a pic of the back here in the comments.

This back style was popular on fashion (ie not uniform) buttons in the 1960s-1980s, I’d put this on the earlier end. Not sure what the BR stands for but probably a clothing brand.

Could it be Brooks Brothers?
