Pulled the token from behind a school built in the late 40's. Any info appreciated as this would be my first token. The button or probably pin based on the back came from the colonial/early American site I've been working all year. Found a great seal button here in the spring and also this other piece which may have been a navy button. So this would be the third military piece found. Once again any info appreciated

Found one on feebay. Probably WWI collar disc insignia US infantry Company L. Makes sense cause this site has lots of colonial/early American stuff then finds drop off for late 19th century then pick up again for early 20th. Found a ton of early wheaties here
 

Once again, feebay to the rescue. Apparently the Feds built a dam in Oregon in 1945. Someone did so well on the land buy outs that they named their bar Golden Flood. Token is a long way from home but the 1945 date coincides with the site I found it at
 

Nice old token and collar disc
 

Arlington, Oregon, to be exact. Other denominations of this piece (made by Meyer & Wenthe of Chicago) were made as well.
