starter button on 65?

My truck has a starter button above the key that looks like a door shut off switch. I suspect since it has the wrong ignition switch someone added this. I purchased a small wiring book and it shows a terminal off the switch to the solenoid for starting. Also the ignition switch I purchased for this year has a start position. Does anyone know what is supposed to be in this hole above the ignition switch? It looks like a factory punched hole. Thanks

That button is actually used for your windshield washers and is factory. But the very same button itself was used as a starter button back in the early '50s.
