✅ SOLVED token..... coin..... badge????

[R Digger]

hey guys! Can you please help me with this? I found this in a very thick wooded area, rumor has it that at one point there was a farm stead at this location. I personally could not find anything showing there actually was one. I think it's aluminum, on the back it says, Ferd H Bag Co., on the front it looks like if says, SII, with done initials on it. Tried to do some research on it, but came up short! Does anyone know what this might be? Thanks! It's about the size of a nickel!

trade token. possibly a baggage token, but it's too beat up for me to ID. I spent some time on the token database but couldn't find anything for you. Being aluminum, and the general look of the design and font, I would date it between 1910-1920

I think on the back part of it says BRG CO short for Brewing Company

That token may be as early as the 1890s. also mentioned in the American Numismatist in 1898 as an aluminum novelty
