I dug this key and token this afternoon in an old part of town. Anyone have any information on their age? I searched Saxon Car token, but couldn't see one like it. It says 1914, but I'm thinking it's not that old. Maybe part of a series of tokens featuring different cars?

The master key has a cool lion on it. Havent seen one like it before. Thanks for any input.

That looks like a 1914-1916 Saxon runabout

They were only in business until 1922...I think it's legit.

As for the key the walking lion is a US trademark. It was applied for on October 1, 1931 and issued March 29, 1932 as number 292,893. Being made of brass it falls into the 1960's era for that key.

Also, Shell made a collection of historic car coins. You can find them for sale on ebay, but I could never get a close enough image to see if your was there.
