This is another metal detecting find from Old Tucker Town outside Corsicana Texas. It's a "Green River Whiskey" advertisement watch fob and hung on a leather strap or chain connected to a pocket watch. It has a bunch of dates on the back and a horse on the front.
Advertising piece for Green River Whiskey.
Slackjack thanks! Now I remember reading that on the man's little jug. I guess it should be under the advertising category.
You have a nice advertising pocket watch fob.
On the reverse side, under 1907, I believe is the manufactures name, S. D. Childs Co. Chicago, Ill.
Also the bottom of the fob appears to be a taper / blade that doubles as a case opener to remove the back lid on a snap-on pocket watch case.

Oh man you really know these well. Thank you for the taking a look as I really didn't know much about it. That bottom tab was never noticed as a tool.
This site might also be of interest to you. I also shows the fob.
