This is a dime-sized Canadian love token featuring the word Mate. Perhaps this was given to someone's spouse or it could have been placed next to a coin featuring the name of a colleague or sailor. Perhaps it could be the name of s pet... whatever it was referring to 100 years ago, you can create your own story with it now.
Collect your children's/relatives names/monograms/initials and create a piece of jewelry to hand down to the next generation. Remember to keep a written explanation of who the names/monograms/initials relate to so that the history of the piece is recorded. This is called the 'provenance' of the antique and adds significant value. But, more than that, it enables the next generation to understand their heritage ... a little like wearing their ancestry.
