✅ SOLVED Metal comic stamp

[Scrammer]

Found in a field of wheat pennies behind a school which grounds have been school grounds since the early 1800's. It is written backwards and raised so I assume it is a stamp. "Why the joy" with a picture of a person holding money.

Update: 2" long x 1.25" wide. NOT magnetic.

Any ideas on date, where used, etc?

I believe it is an advertisement versus an actual comic. Maybe from a bank/savings & loan or something. Something akin to this-

Thank You! And I am going to assume early 1900's due to "Why the joy" which while researching this item seems only to be a phrase from that time period. Now to track down the banks in that area from the time period!
