I like the 10 Cent token, & just a guess but Kivler's tag may be a trap tag.
or lunch box tag.



unfortunately:

Thanks Jon

sorry , got side tracked but Re Token.

I cleaned up your pic a bit



The Royal Baking Powder Company was one of the largest producers of baking powder in the US. It was started by both Joseph Christoffel Hoagland and William Ziegler in 1866. In 1929 the Royal Baking Powder Co. along with four other companies including the Fleischmann's Yeast Company merged to form Standard Brands, the number two brand of packaged foods in America after General Foods.

so your token Must be pre- 1929

Wow Jeff! Thanks for the research. This property is identified on early 1800s maps as having a fort on it. There is an 1800s house on the property and a 1700s cellar hole as well.

The large round lead item couldn't be a musketball. it is larger than a golf ball...about the size of a racquetball. It is quite heavy. Not sure about a cannonball... doubt they were lead. Not sure what the indians had and if they made lead weapons, but this would be a hell of a weapon attached to the end of a stick.

Yes it's obvious it was rather Large, compared to the ring & the tag

There were Cannon used during the French & Indian War, at least by the French.
In fact, they dumped a couple into a large Crevice (cannon hole) when they saw Fort Agusta
in Shamokin (Sunbury today)

I'm not sure what the Cannon balls were made of, or their size.
I have pieces of Cannon balls from the Civil war & they are Steel.
but again, not sure what they used in the 1750's or if the indians
used raw lead or not. would make sense though.

Their guns would have been stolen during raids or supplied by the French
