WWI Watch Fob, $5 Token, Silver, and Wheaties - Info appreciated!

[Dman]

I was able to get out last week for a couple of hunts around an old house close to town. I thought this site had been hunted before, but I am not too sure now. Most of my finds were less than 4 inches deep. The star side of the watch fob has "For Democracy, Liberty, and Justice" and on the back it has "Presented by The Citizens of Nashville Tennessee to Their Loyal Fighting Boys." I think this is a WWI watch fob. On the star side of the $5 token has "People Gold Star Member, People's Outfitting Company, Michigan at Shelby Branch, 14225 West Warren." Any information that people can give me about the watch fob or token will be greatly appreciated.
I also found a few coins. One was a 1954-D quarter and a 1938-S Mercury dime and a few wheat pennies. I also found a few odds and ends. Thanks for looking.

I love the watch fob, and silver is always nice; it's my favorite color next to gold. Looks like you had a productive hunt . . . .I'll skip on the toothpaste. Breezie

MM must have not seen the toothpaste, Breezie. I really thought he'd have something to say about that one. lol

Nice hunt DMan. I can not find anything on the watch fob. It is great though 'To their Loyal fighting boys". They went as boys and returned as men. Good history there.
