Relics and an old bank token

[prolab69]

A few hours at my foundations site digging some holes, the bank token is from aprox 1837, a few wheaties, a crotal and a decrative piece to who knows what. I found the same token online so i added those pictures also.

'William Barton was listed as an "artificer" in an early census. (3) He may possibly have been making sleigh bells as early as the 1790s in New York state. (6) He is best known, however, for the bells he produced in East Hampton, Connecticut, in the early 1800s.'

Decor piece is half of a late Victorian sash buckle.

Some cool stuff. I dug a token like that at a precivil war house site several years ago. The flat piece of brass is part of a 2 piece ladies buckle. I'm thinking mid to late 1800's. I think the other brass piece is part of a candle snuffer.

Thanks, I actually had this site bookmarked from you when you replied to a different post a few years ago It has come in very handy dating all the bells ive found. The candle snuffer was something i didnt think of, ....i wish the token was dated, but all my research points to aprox. 1837.
thanks everyone,
