Found at a late 1800's property

Found these in a pocket spill(of sorts) at a late 1800's home. Not sure what they are. Nothing on the backs, thinner than a penny and marked Madison Twshp 1883...

The other thing looks like a lead seal(not sure what that even means)...With the P.co. and 124 on the other side.. Help please...Thanks in advance jgas

Re: Found at a late 1800's property

Maybe early dog license tags from Madison Towsnhip, [state] . However, they don't seem to be listed in the pre-1900 section of Bill Bone's tags book. You might e-mail him to see if any have been reported since the book's publication, or if he thinks they're any sort of animal tags. (In addition to being a dog license tags expert, he's a retired vet.) Here's the address:

I don't think they're tool checks or work checks, as those usually aren't dated.
