Anyone know what this is exactly?

I’m 99.999% sure it’s lead.

Ok it’s lead.

Century 21 on one side, other side is the same minus the wording.

Top looks like maybe a hole but doesn’t seem to have been used for a loop?

Thanks!

It is from the Seattle 1962 World’s fair, known as the Century 21 Exposition:

This pre-dates the real estate company, which was apparently founded in 1971.

I thought it was the grill from a hotwheels when I first dug it up, didn’t know it was something cool until I cleaned it off!

Awesome little find. Wow! That was solved so fast I had to put a fan on my laptop to cool it off! Good job.
