This round object is an advertisemnet maze toy (still has little bead under the glass) given away by a shoe company called Kast's...they went bust in the great fire of 1906 so its at least that old... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ance...fbkast.htm

Buttons all from a nearby city dump. I tumbled them for 24 hours...They were pure black and crusty before.
