Copper Disk (modern), FluidDrive emblum, GRAYSON Disk?

[Ant]

1) Do you think that this copper disk came from an electric motor (note the copper winding on the stud)? I found it at a RR site. What about the copper fire nugget, do you think it is the same kind of a disk but melted? They were found in the same vicinity and copper this dense isn't often found.

2) How about the FluidDrive emblem, what is it off of.

3) And one more, what was the GRAYSON disk on.

Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and Desoto had Fluid Drive transmissions in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

#1 no, all the end caps for electric motors I've seen were made of steel. I don't see any way that it will fasten to another part either. More likely a base for something.
#2 What Indian Steve said.......early 50's Mopar
#3 Looks like an old style freeze plug.

Thanks, the only difference is that the font on the one that I found is in cursive, but very close, thanks again.
