Hi there! Found this button in Italy, Sicily. Need help to identify it... Searched a lot on the web but I've not found anything, thanks!

"Firmins London" on the rear, do you think it's from Germany? Just asking

It is a long way from home.
Your button is to the Tranvia Anglo Argentina in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Wow, thanks! How can I learn more about the origin of the logo? Any ref.?

I took the ID from ebay in 2014.
That particular button was made by the German manufacturer "Friedrich Linden" for "A.B., Buenos-Aires".
You can find images of trams with a TAA logo, but button designs never match up to those painted on trams.
