Recognize the Boyscout pins but where in the world did that automobile daredevil pin/badge come from? That's cool! Wonder what someone had to do to earn one of those.

My brother lives in the Syracuse NY area. If you can give me a better shot of that Syracuse Centennial token in your first grouping maybe I could find out more for ya.

There were Ward Beam's advertising tokens. That's probably what the daredevil auto token is.

He had a good selection of buttons. From what I have learnt they mostly look like WWI.

However some may be late 19th century.

DO NOT CLEAN.

Looks like you have great collections of buttons and military stuff. Was you dad or another family member in the military, your collection could include some items from overseas.

I just soak buttons in olive oil for an hour or so and gently wipe. nice buttons!

I am posting another badge found by my Dad, probably in New Brunswick NJ or closeby. Tricia, I am reposting the Syracuse token enhanced size for ya.

WoW.. great assortment of nice finds. Congrats.

All from the same place?

Thanx for the upclose.

I can see that on the bottom of the Syracuse token is what looks like two Iroquois and a longhouse. That makes complete sense. Syracuse was the center of the Iroquois nation which extended all across the state.

The church, well it looks like a church, is perhaps a well known one in the area?

The buildings, highrise, on right - not sure which those are.

And there is agriculture in Central New York so on the left it looks like a field.

The arrow motif on the back...have no idea. I know there is some symbolism that has to do with the grouped arrows and I forgot what it is. Same thing with the eagle grasping the arrows on coins. Well something like that.

Very interesting.

If I do find out anything, I'll certainly let ya know.

Many nice buttons there, you should get you a reference guide. Some look pretty old, Art...

It's a Disston saw handle emblem... Used in a variety of different patterns all very similar from 1860s through the 1950s. A closer & clearer picture would help me date it for you.

Montana Jim, Here is a close up of the saw handle emblem....perhaps you can date it from this.
