✅ SOLVED help with fob

I found this fob today in the yard of an older (1915) house, but I can't find any info about the company T.A. Austin & Company Laredo, Texas. Anyone?

The Laredo Times of 10/22/35 page 9, on 9/7/19 (page 6); and the San Antonio Express on 8/29/39 page 16, each had reference to this company's fine limes.
Those dates may help ID the vintage of your fob.

Thanks Don, and creskol, that pretty much nails down the timeline for this piece. It was just a few inches away from a nice AU 1936 quarter.
