Default Some recent finds??

Hello Pappy Just looking at some of my recent finds and wonder if you might know any answers to these Questions

1. This Buffalo nickel has a very worn date 193? between five and cents on the bottom is a D and it seems as it only has three legs. Could one of the legs wear off. I have looked with a magnifyer and only see three.

2. this next item was found in my yard it is brass I believe it may be from a womans necklace. Have you ever seen anything like this? does it have any signifigance.

3. This tokan is from the Delaware Memorial Bridge it has a date of 1968. does it have any value.

4. This last item was found near a Junk yard. It has taken me some time to clean it. Is it a emblem form a car? like a hood ornament? Just wondering if you knew any thing about it.

Thanks for your help

Okey Dokey GG...Here we go...I have to agree with grasshopper that your buffalo has four legs. I can see the remains of the fourth leg on the coin.
The second item at one time was a ladies pin. I can see the pin line on the reverse side...Age...Probably back in the 1920's-30's. I'll try and let you know in just a few minutes about the Token.Not really sure about the last item...Could be a hood ornament...Looks to be a car part.I'll see if I can find something like it.

G.G the last item in your pictures looks like the pull from a zipper if it is small like half inch that would be my guess but that's all it is a guess continued good hunting, as you know I am here in Mass. under the snow don't you miss it here New England....lol!

GG, I found one token like yours on proxybid that sold for $4.00. It is a Toll Token for the Delaware Mem. Bridge.

Sorry GG,
When I first looked at your pics, I thought sure you'd found "Old Stumpy," the Buffalo with the missing right front leg. I sure wish you had.

Better luck next time!

Thank you so much Pappy.
Prism Pal of course I miss MA. But I love the weather here and I have made it my home. I will visit new England as much as possible. But I am a Dixie Gal now.
The buffalo nickel is very worn but I still am pleased with the find. Thanks to all who responded.
