Hello all,
Was out last weekend and found this. Have no clue what it can be. All I can think of is some part of an old car. All letters can be easily read and the Co at the end probably stands for Company. I can't figure out exactly the order of the other letters : EMRT...? Diameter is 4 inches. Probably not the find of a lifetime but I would still like to know what it is.
Any help is welcome !

I'm not usually the one to ID anything.:lol:
But it's a neat find. It looks to have some age to it IMO.
Whats the back look like?
wow very cool looking plate , traditionally the "monogrammed" styled (love tokens , badges , company logos ) are read from the middle letters outward. I'm with Tim and would like to view the reverse.
My guess... TM ER Co. TM Electric Railway Co.?
Thanks for your feedback guys ! The back is pretty plain. To me, it looks pretty old. Chief, that could be it ! Del, thanks for the info on the letters. I didn't know that !

Interesting. I didn't even notice the piece on the back where it could spin. I only saw the hole in the top. Could the TM stand for 'The Milwaukee' as in The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Co? I wonder what something from Milwaukee was doing in NY, tho...aside from something like a coin.
It sure looks like it even though I have not been able yet to find a similar item from that company. And just like you, I am really unable to explain why such an item would be found in Westchester County, NY.Quote:
