Default Lead item from 1840..

Hey Ya, Pappy. Any thoughts on this item. At the bottom it says "Sept. 10 1840". Going up the left side it says" Harrison" and at the top it says" Jubilee". I have no idea what is on the right side as it is pretty well worn there. The design seems to be some sort of tower with light eminating from the top!
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Travis

Default Harrison Token

It very well could be a William Henery Harrison Inaugaration Token from 1840. Harrison died in 1841 of Pneumonia while in office. Harrison was known as an Indian Fighter as well as President.

Hmmm...for some reason that did not occur to me. By token i assume you mean coin/token size also? This thing is about 2 inches in diameter, so bigger than typical token size! Thanks for the info Pappy!
