TEXAS BUTTON? CHINESE COIN? TOY TRAIN CAR

[tokens70]

I have three different items I would like to get some information on if possible. First looks to be some kind of texas button because of the main star & the small star in wreath on the upper left point, it measures about 7/8" & has a superior quality backmark. Next is the chinese? coin, it is a little smaller than a half dollar & says: KUO COPPER COIN. Last item is a toy train car that has metal (lead?) wheels & steel axles & about 2 inches long with no maker name, just wanted to get an approx. age on it. THANKS

The button looks very close to this Oklahoma Military Academy, Claremore Cadet 1920 one - from Albert's book SU 295.

Found an old eBay listing that says it has the Superior Quality with stars backmark

The button is very close, I just wonder why the original poster's button doesn't have the letters outside of the star like the one shown in Albert's does? Maybe an unlisted variety?

Being that this is a 3 part post we need to ID the toy now for the green check. I hope someone can help.
