Beanfield Finds

Hello All: Was looking for some help in ID'ing a couple Beanfield finds. First two pics (sorry so bad) are of a Civil War Token I think. The front we can read the word Country with a "e" above it for One Country. Surrounded by what looks like sunrays. And on the back is a Flag on a pole surrounded by laurel wreath. I have been unable to locate any thing that looks like this on the web. There is a "Dix Token " that looks sorta like this but this is not a Dix token, any help out there ??? The third pic is of I think is a pin of sorts it looks like it was pressed on something due to the back has only one contact point and its round and smooth. The front has the letters " S C" or " C S " with a small "o" to the side. I'll post the back in another thread. The forth pic is of what I thin was a Ribbon . It has a Bust on front under his right shoulder you can make out the letters "of" then "HUNG", as you can see the bottom edge is flat where I think the ribbon would hang. The back has two mounting points like a clip. I was thinking a War ribbon ??? Some conflict in Hungary. The last two pics are of a button Here I'm looking for just some dates used and such. It's pretty self ID'ing, it shows a young rider on horse on front and says "pony Stockings for Boys and Girls" on back .All these were found in North Central Ohio in November. Along with 1862 + 1890 Indian Heads, 1842 Canadian Half Cent,1863 Grocer Token," Our Navy" Civil War Token, several other flat buttons and a 177? British Half Penny. The whole post will be on the CTX3030 forum soon, I hope. Thanks in Advance for any and all help HH Jack
 
Not sure about the others, but the third piece is a keyhole cover from a padlock, most likely from a C.S. & Co. padlock similar to this one.

In the Standard Catalog of U.S. Tokens, 1700-1900, I found your token. It's a Patriotic Civil War. Obv. die #216 and rev. die #293. The pics in my book aren't the sharpest, but somebody may have a different book with better pics they can post. Congrats on your find.
 
Thanks Again All: Going back to the field on Thursday. Hope for some more great finds. "Wish me Luck" Still trying to get some Info. on the pony stocking button pics 5+6, and the item in pics 4+8. I think it was some kind of War Ribbon or Medal ? Thanks HH Jack
