the pistol is a real one, i believe it is a North American Arms revolver. The cylinder will come out with the missing pin under the barrell. 22 or 22 mag, stainless 5 shots, barrel variations, and some even folded down in a grip, or belt buckle mount. not a cheapo and a get off me gun! still in production and popular with cops ...
and campers. great little piece! very small, hides in the hand or pants pocket easily.
The token I am not sure on, but it probably means 5 cent in trade, I have one that spells out 5 cent in trade, and just a number. a merchant could order bags of tokens with a specific number assigned to him, or his own name, logo etc. turn of century for the 5 cent'er i believe. check your town records for a company listing with that name, town historian or library. more than a slight possibility it was a local mercantile or sundries store, drug store or grocer type combo of sort. we had a trading transport mercantile during the Civil War in Macon Ga called Carhart and Curd co. Not certain on tokens but possible. neat finds.
P.S. i thought my find was a washer, it had a perfect hole, and upon getting ready to toss in junk box, realized it was copper, and cleaning showed the markings. some are brass and nickle also, so check those washers!
