August 3rd finds. Old tokens, disabled vet tag, wheaties, keys & whatisits

Searched up around my grandmothers house. Not much luck at the start of the hunt but after hitting up an old alley behind her house where an old out-house had sat we came up with a few keepers. Had 3 wheats in total. A coin which was found right next to the two tokens which is too far gone to tell. A dog tag which probably belonged to my mothers first dog from '65 as well as a large 'whatisit' (maybe an old fountain pen or spark plug). If anyone has any info on the tokens let us know as we are anxious to possibly date them or find out what they may have been used for!

Iv'e found one of those disabled vet tags before too - they were part of a key-chain one could order that would have a miniature version of the owner's automobile license plate on one side and the other with the side you have. These were then registered and if anyone found the keys they could be returned for free through the company that issued the tag.
