Anyone know what it may be? It says Eleanor Young Ivanhoe 135.

Looks like a good luck token. You could print them with text at fairs and carnivals.

I found one of these today a few inches down, by a pine tree in a friend's yard. Mine say's MARGARET HAMPTON WISE VIRGINIA. Wise is the town where we live. Unfortunately the one I dug up is beaten up on one edge, but most of it is still very legible. Pretty neat!

I have found 4 and returned 3 of those to the owners.

I typed in 135 Ivanhoe street and came up with a 133 Ivanhoe street in Denver,Co. If there was a 133 Ivanhoe St. there could have been a 135 Ivanhoe St. At one time. Then I typed in Eleanor Young and there is a Eleanor S. Young in Denver,Co. at a different address and a phone no.

You could get a good picture of it and send it to her and ask her if it is hers.
I like tracking these people down and one I had known and the other two I called in the phone book and called them. Easy to locate.

Good luck on locating her.

frojones you should be able to track her down and return it to her. Old high school class books if not in the phone book.

You could start by calling everyone with the Hampton name and asking them if they know Margaret.

I may be wrong about the last name on the token because a piece of it has been damaged. It may even be Hamilton, but I'm not for certain. If I can get a good photo of it I'll post it and let you guys see if you can distinguish it. I'd love to return it to its original owner (:

Looking at it again I am almost certain that it says Hamilton. That's a pretty common name around here.
