Agree on the wagon wheel cap. I remember pounding them back on my wagon! ( Although they were probably used on other wheeled objects.)

"One tradition Mr. Adams started with Troop 54 decades ago is the handing out of silver dollars to new Eagle Scouts. Several Eagle Scouts at Mr. Adams' birthday party said the silver dollars were almost as coveted as the Eagle Scout rank itself.

Mr. Adams said it started out as a small gesture.

"In those days, you could get silver dollars at the bank," Mr. Adams said.

"I figured I would be a wiseguy, and when I gave it to them I said, 'Keep this, and you'll never be broke.' "

The tradition grew to be much more than that; Eagle Scout Ryan Hacker said Mr. Adams led by example.

"It's a legacy of giving," Mr. Hacker said.

"It's something to strive for. I remember seeing other Scouts getting their silver dollar, and I thought, "When do I get mine?'" Printer Friendly Version

The little copper deal reminds me of a tea light holder it would have set in wooden base. (tea light is small candle) Also the latch is an internal part to a latch so probably will be hard to get an exact I.D.

One of the first things I ever found with my BFO machine way back in the late 60's was one of those penny good luck pieces,
keep me and never go broke. Mine has a penny in it, and looks a lot like this one.

If the little "hat" shaped piece is indeed an axle cap to retain a wheel, it should have a few tiny dimples or cleats to help keep it fastened to the axle shaft. Almost all the ones I've seen were steel however, but I guess they could be made of copper too. The aluminum horseshoe shaped item with the hole in the middle is indeed a souvenir piece that once had a one cent coin in the middle. I've found many of those through the years.
