A variety of finds: Silver, v's, police badge and toy tractor

I found two silver , a 1907 indian and two v's from 1902 and 1903. Both in bad shape. The most interesting is a lead plate that I believe to be a printing plate. The words are reversed and the picture recessed. It says " A straw hat of Fred ? by Townsend ? ( the corner is missing)." Also, a toy badge that says police 414 with a post back that would fit through a button hole on a shirt. Also is a toy tractor. I can't believe that the rubber wheels are still on the toy. Last is a button of a mail carrier and says P.O.D.

Starting my own collection of printers plates, gotta love them. Sounds silly, but I use a little black shoe polish to highlight some of the harder to read areas. (Don't have any printer's ink lying around the house) Washes out when I'm done the examining, and they tend to scan better. Yours has a 1920's look to it, maybe a little earlier. Nice!
