Local token-cuff link-Indian head-V nickle

Me and my wife got out for a little bit today to a spot we have hunted for awhile and had some pretty good success. The token was a dream find for me because its from my hometown and its pretty old I also included a picture of the exact store it originated from its dated around 1905 I also included the definition of what the back of the token means "Skigger...what is a Skigger???(old meaning..not new.)A Skigger was a sales promotion idea that came into use back in the early teens. Merchants would package small value merchandise (usually unsaleable items) in bags and place the bags in a barrel. With a skigger token you could select one of the bags out of the barrel...for free. Sort of...you get a prize!". The cuff link was not my first but is my oldest and has a flower motif if you look closely and the V nickle is my third in less than a week the Indian my wife found she always finds the Indians?? Thanks for looking.
 
You guys are on fire! That token is a dream find indeed - congrats. And a four skiggers to boot! This might have been the last nice day for awhile. I'm hoping to dodge the rain drops sometime/somewhere this weekend...
 
This was a fun story to read! Neat history on the token and thanks for the pictures and congratulations on the finds!
