    I found this medallion among my grandfather's things from his time in the Army during WWII. He was stationed in Fiji and other places throughout the South Pacific. It appears to be handstamped on the back with the words "Mermaid No. 3 -- Jack M."

    Could this be some version of a dog tag? My grandfather's name was not Jack so just curious.

      This looks like an old uniface watch fob from the First World War era that lost it's fob type loop and was holed for use as a check. The inscription on back could be from a club, possibly navy related.
