One whazzit and a brooch.

[Jack(IN)]

Went out today and found this tag and have no ideal what the heck it is?? Different from anything I've found or seen, any clues??

Second this is a brooch my friend found in an older Park in town today, told him I think it dates back around the turn of the century??

Tested and Sealed


32mm, al

About this token:

* Paula writes: My token has on side side "Fairfield County 1939 Dayton Stencil, Dayton Ohio". The front looks just like yours.
* Dan writes: I suspect that this is an "Official" seal of an Ohio government employee that had tested the accuarcy of the measuring device (gas pump, meat scales, etc.) used in commercial trade. Here in Texas, the Licencing, Weights, & Measures Div. of the Department of Public Safety makes periodic inspections of such things. A decal is now used. I remember seeing these on small town gas pumps back in the early 60s. Prior to 1935 The Texas Rairoad Commission regulated such things. It is illegal to tamper with the adjusting device on any measuring tool used in commercial trade. There can be severe penalties if caught doing so. I have seen aluminum discs with two holes for riveting it to the gas pump with the Texas seal. This one from Paulding County Ohio tells me that the law was enforced on the county level.
