Got in a quick hunt today before the rain came down and made at least one cool find! I found an early aluminum token from the E.H. Gulledge Store Oakville, ON c.1915 – 1920.
I also found a brass toe-tap, a brass harness buckle and another Isaac Campbell Loop… this makes for 63 IC loops found here! 
In 1836, Henry Gulledge, a saddler and harness maker from England, established a shop at the southeast corner of Colborne Street (now Lakeshore Road) and Thomas Street. This is one of the two oldest corners in the Town of Oakville, ON. Edmund H. Gulledge took over the store from his father in 1877. The Edmund H. Gulledge Store (b.1851 - d.1947) offered customers a wide variety of wares including Boots and Shoes, Harness, Collars, Trunks, and Whips. In 1897, located on the South East corner of Thomas St. & Lakeshore Rd it burned down circa 1910. In 1915, Gulledge moved back to the original location at 194 Lakeshore Rd East. The lot remained vacant until 1921 when the Bank of Toronto (TD Bank) purchased it and TD sold the building in 2001.
Thanks for looking,
