Found This at a property dating early 1800's. Have found some nice bottles dating 1860's as well.
Says "THE GREAT MAMMOTH BALOON AIR SHIP"
I did some reading on this and there was a balloon named The City of Paris. interesting. The token is light and hollow. looks to had a chain going through.
Any thoughts about this piece?

Oh it is metal. Like green patina, w/ some rust color. Hollow like two halves placed together, w/ out showing a seam. Like I said I did some research on it. Great photos of the City Of Paris Airship.
