    “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."

    These come from the 1930's and it has been suggested that they were used as buttons
    or as pulls on clothing. Whatever their origin, there are many different and it's difficult
    to find two of these exactly alike. I've seen about 150 and have about 100 different.

    looks like something from the 1960's, like the Shell President's game (fill up your tank and get a token). [edited to add..], although Clad King's sems to have seen these, so he must be more correct on the time of striking.

    Not necessarily. I do usually find them with stuff from the '30's though. Someone here thinks they are '50's. image
