Found this over the weekend. This particular seal of ohio was used from 1879 to 1902. I'm curious if anyone knows what exactly it was and who got them. I believe it may be a fob? And what little research I've done says that government officials got these.

There is one on ebay at the moment with a lanyard attached. Makes me think they were given as awards?
