Hi Found this today too. I thought it was a washer until I cleaned it. Some type of token I think.

Not a token, but part of an ear tag for livestock. See

Solingen is a town in Germany - I can't tell whether these may have been made there with the company headquarters in Berlin or what.

Cool Ear Tag for live stock thing. I would have thought it was a washer too. What happened to Branding?

Solingen, is also one of the finest quality steel in the world. Solingen steel knives are highly sought after. Could be that this is made of steel from Solingen. If not, at least you learned a little something about Solingen steel. ;-)
