Found this about 4 inches down under a layer of gravel. It was in the yard of the hired help's cabin across the field from the "big" house where the farm owner lived. My theory is that someone came home from the war with a pocketful of souvenirs. He gave one souvenir to each one of his nephews. Then that nephew promptly went outside and lost it.

I looked these up and found some for sale on eBay for about $12.95. The back side is an image of the Potsdam church.

Interesting find! Congrats! My buddy Bret found a swastika belt buckle on one of my permission here in Kansas. The homestead dates back to 1905! Come to find out the belt buckle is actually from a American infantry division out of Oklahoma prior to World War Two! The swastika is--was actually a good symbol prior to the nazis forever tainting it! It was used for thousands of years in many different cultures around the world! What a shame....
