Hi I am new here. Found this in the woods in Delaware. I can make out the words screw and vet on one side, and the reverse is blank.

Please help

Some kind of pewter or similar metal advertising plate that was cut into the shape and size of a large coin, maybe? Counterweight for a coin scale? Counterfeit coin for a colonial vending machine? Very interesting, none the less! Sub 8-)

It was much larger & cut down, no idea what it was though other than an old machine name plate (maybe)

I appreciate the feedback, and the humor. I agree it looks like it was cut out of something larger. I guess my two questions are:

Cut out of what?
Then used for what?

Machine name plate, and a counterweight (something that previously crossed my mind) seem to be good guesses.

Thanks!
