I think this tag or Medallion was put out by a Church Group..or a Society of some sort..there are many types of these in Canada and the US..some have "till the soil" on them and other "Farming" sayings or Commerce Sayings on them...it was a common pratice to make these...but there are so many..and few records survive...I think the proper term is "Token"

It looks like a fob to me.

The roots of International Harvester can be traced back to the 1830s, when Cyrus Hall McCormick, an inventor from Virginia, finalized his version of a horse-drawn reaper. The reaper was demonstrated in tests in 1831 and was patented by Cyrus in 1834. Together with his brother, McCormick moved to Chicago in 1847 and started the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. The McCormick reaper sold well, partially as a result of savvy and innovative business practices. Their products came onto the market just as the development of railroads offered wide distribution to distant market areas. He developed marketing and sales techniques, developing a vast network of trained salesmen able to demonstrate operation of the machines in the field.

McCormick died in Chicago, with his company passing on to his son, Cyrus McCormick, Jr. In 1902, the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and Deering Harvester Company, along with three smaller agricultural equipment firms (Milwaukee; Plano; and Warder, Bushnell, and Glessner (manufacturers of Champion brand)) merged together to create the International Harvester Company.

Its a nice find!! Grin

Nice find! The spreader would be used to distribute barn waste from animal stalls, mixed with straw or other bedding and used as an excellent fertilizer on farm ground for crops. It introduces microbes & adds organics to till into the ground to create rich soil. Sue
