"Stop Your" ... horse?

[mk4125]

I spent the evening 'de-trashing' an old foundation. After a few hours I had about 50+ pound of metal overflowing a large plastic tote and a very small number of goodies. They were definitely not coming easy. Not sure what the small token item is from.

“Stop your bull”.....lol

Cdickrun nailed it. Your token is a picture of a Bull. Your other item with the animal on a flat base seems to be a Cracker Jack toy. Nice finds.

Any idea what that round holed doohickey is? I dug one once and never was able to nail down what it was. Brass and holed on top and side with open bottom. Thought maybe from a brass bed post fitting.

Not sure..it's a 2-piece with the inside piece threaded and would screw on to some post of sorts. The outside piece appears to slip on to that... possibly. .

Oh Duh. 'Stop Your Bull'. My brain could come up with nothing but a horse. Thank you. . I could not find a match on the internet..any idea what it's from? There was a small rivet in the middle but fell out after I dug it up.

its a,,,, stop your bull chit …. a chit is another word for token often workmen had to check out tools typically they were issued a company "chit" to exchange for the loan of a tool from the "tool boss" ...chit was hand in- tool was loaned out --upon return of tool- chit was returned .. if tool was lost or damaged --you had to pay for it (it also prevented theft of tools by those using them and made them accountable if someone else stole thru them being careless with the tool leaving it just laying about...and if at days end a tool was "missing" and not been returned to the tool boss --the tool boss had everyone show up and show their chits --he who did not have a chit upon him --when there was a missing tool was screwed (your wages got docked the tools cost and possibly you got fired as well),,,,no excuses worked ,,so "stop your bull chit"

Nice saves, MK..you definitely earned those after digging and removing all that trash from that foundation. I've got a couple "secret" foundations waaaay back in some woods, and I would have to drive a dump truck back there, as it appears farmers back in the day dumped old tin roofing, barbed wire, fence posts, pipes...etc, literally tons of stuff. I've had decent luck away from the foundations, spotted a few groups of tulips and scored some old silvers. Thx for sharing, Ddf.

I am amazed at the depth of knowledge on this sute. (and the shallow depths of my own knowledge when it comes to certain artifacts). Much appreciated!!
