Re: I have found the coolest thing EVER !!!!!! UPDATE PICS !
Well I spent some time trying to find something online about WHSCO but could not find much about the mark. Some similiar items on ebay including a rather plain coin/bill fold. I've tried different variations w.h.s co, whs company, whsco, but nothing really popped up. Tried looking up the makers mark on a website for silver hallmarks/makers marks but again came up empty. I'm sure someone on here could find something out for you if you wanted them to. I was just curious for myself.

Reddie,
That is a very cool find. I have never seen anything like that before or even posted here
It is in great shape for being in the ground for so long. Nice Job. Keep it up.

Re: I have found the coolest thing EVER !!!!!! UPDATE PICS !
Red: Tried to find your find. I believe it's called a " Money Locket "! Does it look like it would hang from a chain?
I tried Art Deco, Nil! Victorian, Nil! Still trying tho.

I think the appropiate word for mixed company is a social club. I remember when the song was first released.

That is one beautiful bug, Reddie!
The small coat of arms, evidently added later, is that of the college fraternity Phi Delta Theta and was probably taken from a member's frat pin. (See below.)
BTW, there's a similar coin holder (without the coat of arms) on eBay right now:
