We hit a large lot that was razed a few weeks ago Sunday. It had been hunted hard and supposedly given up a few seated coins and barbers. I did manage to find this advertising medallion from the Excelsior shoe company. Some research revealed that these were made in 1910 and tied to the laces of boys shoes. Apparently, the swastika type symbol was used on several varieties of good luck tokens of this period as a sign of good fortune. The others managed a few Wheaties from the same time period.
Fun hunt!
Thanks for looking.
