The permission came from a old brick home in town built around the late 1800's. As you can see it was a nice mixed bag of goodies.

The Don't Worry Club token with the swastika was popular in the 20's and early 30's. Of course Hitler ruined it for everyone, but it was a symbol of luck back then in the US and used by many different businesses and clubs -- in this case, the Bartles-Maguire Oil Company HQ'd in Milwaukee.
The Parker-Davis Presidential bid in 1904 was up against T. Roosevelt. Roosevelt, as you may know, won by a landslide. But the Parker campaign issued these "fobs" as a gimmick to baggage tags and the final destination, Washington DC.
Among the clad are 3 wheat's, 1911, 1946 and 1946D. The IHC has much crusted patina going on, but I was still able to barely make out a date: 1889. The silver is a nice 1936 Liberty Dime. Then there's the clad and a 70's local Sheboygan bus token to round things out.

Thanks for viewing.

Nice assortment, I really like the tag...my last name is Davis haha!
 

Congrats on the many nice finds. :thumbsup: Oldest coin I dug today was a 1920 wheat.
 

All good stuff! I really like the Merc dime.
 

Nice!!

I found a Swastika, it was a Boy Scout membership emblem token 1910-1914. Until I found it I had no idea the nazis stole that Good Luck symbol.
 

Very nice finds that's a great day in anyone's book
