Two pieces of mystery brass from Long Island New York

A buddy of mine found these about eight inches down in an old farm field turned school (moden day). Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

That is part of a candle holder.

This is similar to what i was thinking.

The token appears to have something similar to the old Deutsche Bank logo on it. But I can't find an exact match.

Or Dodge Brothers perhaps...

It’s a good match to the Dodge Brothers logo above!

Agree. More likely Dodge Brothers than Deutsche Bank.

Interesting (to me) aside - While looking a match for the DB token I read an article about the rise and demise of the Dodge brothers. Hard drinking, working class mechanics John and Horace were inseparable. They started building cars for Henry Ford in 1903. Over the next decade they acquired a 10% share in the fledgling Ford Motor Company. Ford bought them out in the early teens for a cool $25 million. They used the money to start Dodge Brothers Motor Company which debuted in 1914. Within 5 years they had surpassed Ford to become the largest auto maker in the world. In 1920 they attend the NYC Auto Show - which was likely a super-spreader event for the Spanish Flu pandemic (actually bacterial pneumonia). John fell ill and died a few days later. Horace recovered somewhat but was heartbroken by the loss of his brother. He died 11 months later. Some papers reported he died from complications of pneumonia and sadness. His death record points to cirrhosis of the liver.
