Finds from Canada day weekend out detecting pictured with and attached. Could not find a matching example of coin/token anywhere online.. Also scooped up my first Napoleonic era coin! 1854 B mint mark Napoleon III, Empire Francais, Dix Centimes and found a complete WW2, Order of the Garter? Canadian military button that reads "honi soit qui mal-y pense" inside the embossed belt around maple leaf on face.

I never found a comparable pic of the 'coin' but I did find Kiefer's bio and pic.
He established his company in the preteen 1900s and it was still in business in the 1940s.
Don in SoCal
Thanks for taking a look Don! Found a little info on Alois Leo Kiefer, founder of the company in 1904, through a Watertown historical society article and a few paper receipts on ebay for sale online from company dated in the 1940s, but still no photo's/examples of actual Paring machine or coins/tokens.
