Need Help Button and Token

[Rolladex]

Appreciate any help. I have a Button and Token I need help with?

The button is made by Scovill MFG WATERBURY CT. 1850-1865. (Name in the groove)
I have found several of these, great finds. They can give you an idea of the age of the items you can find in the area. Also, Scovill MFG made buttons for the north and the south for some period into the Civil War before they were forced into siding with the North.

Here is a basic ID site for this type of button, there are more descriptive ones but it covers yours. http://inkspotantiques.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=1

I can't help with the token, but I do like military buttons! Great find, HH!

Milton Oil Co. was founded in Sedalia Mo. in the early '20s and sold to City Services (later Citco) in the early '60s. they sold Dixcel brand gasoline and Dixolube oil and grease. They had stations in Missouri., Kansas., Arkansas., Illinois, and Oaklahoma.
I found a site that has the same token on sale for $9.99.
Below is the link.

Would I be correct by saying the token was minted in the early 1940's? Its possible they could have made them more than the one time but seriously, would you expect to get a 'happy 20th birthday!' card every year?
