Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
Interesting. Light up times every Saturday, month, date(every 7 days) light up time.
I thought it might read 1903 but the dates don't match Saturday that year.
Can you clean it up a bit so we can read more?

It's a 1903 Matchless Metal Polish Calender Advertising Token (apparently).
Still,it's half the fun finding something and researching it

Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
They ran from July one year to June the next, double sided. The times for lighting up look about right, changing up and down over the year. Some were just calenders.
As you say, fun researching it.
