I found both of these items in the same general area. The "B" medal or pendant is maybe bronzed copper? I honestly don't know how to tell bronze from brass from copper once its been in the ground for a long time.

This silver thing has me puzzled. Its very thin, like pop can thin. It is stamped sterling but has no makers mark. There are little pin holes at the top and bottom. There is nothing on the back, just the reverse of the front.

Watch or key fob for the first one seems like a likely contender.

And yes, there is a face on the silver piece. Santa? Perhaps. I'm wondering if it was sewn on to a piece of clothing or hat maybe. Did people do that back then?
