Can't see any pic for the other side, but what you've shown so far is the Egyptian 'Eye of Horus' symbol:

Yes and reverse side which I cannot get to upload is skull and crossbones just do not no what it is no writing on it at all

Sounds like some kind of fantasy/game token or 'new ager' pocket piece.

I believe it is the Eye of Ra (right eye) versus the Eye of Horus (left eye).

Yes... I stand corrected. Not that it makes much difference to what the item might be. The two eyes have different symbolism and, like much Egyptian imagery, have been heavily borrowed for decorative and 'talismanic' purposes. Neither have any particular connection to the 'skull & crossbones' symbol that first appeared in the Middle Ages.

I am guessing it is a game piece from apx. 1940ish.

Ok, I'll bite. What leads you to that conclusion on time frame?

joe is the reverse in as good of shape as the eye side,maybe take another pic and try to upload

only thing i could find egyptian sorta like a crossbones is the crook & flail, but it would have to be
in bad shape to mistake it for a skull & crossbones, that said i dont know what the token thing is
