I found information on the John Tyler Commemorative Token



https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/nmah_1382273



This token was made by the Scovill Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut during the early 20th century. Scovill was established in 1802 as a button manufacturer and is still in business today. Scovill was an early industrial American innovator, adapting armory manufacturing processes to mass-produce various consumer goods including buttons, daguerreotype mats, and political tokens.

 

Nice little loot! Love the "trinkets", especially the token! I have a button that I found that was made by The Waterbury Button Company. It originally was a company called The Benedict & Burham Co.
Here is some interesting reading on the company and the Button ( circa 1834-1843).

The Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing Company - The Lampworks

 

Nice finds Ed. I have a WW II .45 Auto Holster Hanger with Scovill snaps. I need to replace 2 of them. They are still being made. I just need to find the exact ones.

 

That is quite the haul for various items. Coins, including 3 silvers, a bracelet, a USPS lock, a John Tyler token, a WWII hat pin and more. Glad you had a nice trip and a great day at the park.

 

You got to like those parks! Lots of finds, especially under trees and high traffic areas. Shh!!!

 

The hat pin is pretty cool. I'll bet you can find a key for the US Mail lock.

 

Thanks. I have a few small metal detected keys at home I'm going to try this evening.
