Found this during teardown
Uncovered this brass token being used as a washer:
 One side says "Loaned for Amusement" The other says "Property of O.K. Vending" Not sure if that's creative engineering or lazy engineering. A bit of both I guess.

Re: Found this during teardown
From the time that these were just work trucks and you used what was handy to keep them going. Probably saved a nickle and hour trip to the hardware store, or longer if he lived in the country. I'd use it someplace on the truck for good luck!

Re: Found this during teardown
Keeping it for sure. Maybe as a knob end, maybe embedded in acrylic as a gear shift knob, maybe just dangling from the mirror.

Re: Found this during teardown
fascinating to think that may have been a token for some kid at a county fair back in the day... so cool!

Re: Found this during teardown
A quick search on the web shows that these were used in quasi-legal bunco slot machines. Between 1910 and 1932. Awesome!
For those interested: http://users.pullman.com/fjstevens/t...unco/okay.html Wonder how long it sat in somebody's junk drawer/bucket/bottle before it found it's way onto my truck.
