Possible token or coin?

Hey All - can't figure this one out. Found near Delaware River. I "think" I see a PA?? No idea. Any ideas?

In the first pic, it looks like "LIGH" at the very top

My first thought was a button.

I have found a couple similar pieces that turned out to be the little knob on lanterns that adjusts the wick.

X2 on the lantern adjuster, the square hole is not too common, except for the Chinese Cash coins, and this does not appear to be one of those.

Looks like it may be a tax token...

Yeah you may be right about that lantern knob...still can't tell but looks like it. Thank you!

Looks like a jeans fly button or overalls suspender button to me, but I'm no expert. :grin:

With a square hole it is almost certainly a lantern wick adjuster. Let me see if I can find some pictures of some I have found.
