Folks you do understand this is an advertising token for Remington??
It may be, or not be, that she actually shot it. Still a very rare version and a great find and great item. Congrats on the banner.

Great Find!

THese were, indeed, advertisement tokens for Remington Ammunition, and were all manufactured as such. Still a cool find. I have one that I got from my uncle when I was about 10

I thought I posted this yesterday, but guess it didn't save? :icon_scratch:

Re: ANNIE OAKLEY- "American Icon" Relic found!

Very cool find...congrats on the banner. It looks like they were holed when made so once shot they would be worn as a good luck token. The second one posted by Balding Boy has the hole between the Shot and With same as the Annie Oakley one.

Great stuff
