That is a brass token that Remington would give there trick shooters. They would a lot of times shoot them out of the air. The style you have is quite common. Yours obviosly has not been shot. they would give these to kids after they shot them, and they would tie a string threw it and put them around their necks.

I would say yours is from the 30s or 40s. Here is a picture of a rare one that I have shot by Annie Oakley around 1905- 1906

Theres one in every crowd. That one is real rare because Dave Fagan can not even hit the side of a barn.
Re: What is this? (pic)
If you found the token in Eastern PA, it was probably given away by Wilbur Cox. He was an active Remington shooter and salesman in the MD, PA, and DE area.
