indian medallion

Found this medallion a while back and was wondering if anyone has seen or knew what it was. No markings on it just the painted indian head.

I have nothing to offer as far as history, but that has got to be the coolest find and most intriguing find I have ever seen. Let us all know what you find.

Thanks for the awesome post,

I was thinking like a kids play token or medallion but I am not sure. Wasn't able to find any info on it at all

Man. That looks like it has some age on it. Very unique find. Thanks for the picture.

I found what appears to be something similar to what you have. I found this in south Georgia. My mother-in-law explained that these were attached to school year books (I believe she said in the 1950's). The one I have shown doesn't represent the school mascot; however, perhaps yours has something to do with one of the local or even former schools. It may not hurt to ask around. Good luck...

I bet that's it! It was found at a 1896 country schoolyard in a field. That didn't even occur to me until you said that. The school has been long gone and its just cropland now. That's cool thankyou

Let us know what you find out...

I just received a shiny, new E-Trac in the mail today. I feel bad for my Safari...
