Looks like one of those aluminum tokens (this one for Calvin Coolidge) that Shell used to give out over the years. I remember them from as far back as 1968! It's hard to read, but should clean right up with an application of aluminum jelly. Might also be some sort of token, but I would expect one from 1929 to be copper. The maker's mark on the spoon is nice. Congrats!

Yes hot as heck here today in NJ and seems no rain now since forever

It's an aluminum token related to the 30th President Calvin Coolidge (served 1923-1929). He was a Republican so that is what you were able to read. Not sure if this was simply a prosperity token or maybe something put out later by Cracker Jack or some larger oil companies as part of a "collect all these and get free...gas/more stuff you don't need" etc. Age on it is relative but i'd think probably 50s or 60s.

Hope this helps.
