Maybe it is some sort of railroad tag or badge? That would be my guess anyways.

Very nice finds, especially that Barber quarter. There were numerous cities issuing tokens with Trocadero (Hibbing, MN; St. Paul, MN; Omaha, NE; Helena, MT) but none of them match yours. Your token looks almost like a tool check piece or a picker token (used to keep track of the quantity that a worker would pick). You might want to check local historical society for info. The Vicksburg & New Orleans badge is really cool. All I could find was a steamer (ship) from late 1800s with that name. It was a rural post office mail carrier and may have serviced parts of Iowa. This badge might be very collectible if that's the case. HH
