General Motors?? & Rifle Bullet??

[chase2b]

Can anyone tell me what this pontiac medallion was used for and maybe what year? The bottom of the medallion under the Indian says "Chief of the Sixes". It is 3 1/4" long x 1 3/4" high.

Also what caliber rifle bullet would this be? It is 1 1/2" high and 1/4" at it's widest part. I also included a photo of the bottom of the bullet.

That Pontiac medallion is hard to date. One similar token was posted here a while ago...hmm...that thread looks to be vanished. Anyways, similar tokens were issued over several decades with very little difference. As for the bullet, if your measurement is somewhat correct... Then the actual calibre is in 6 - 6,5mm range. This means there are 100 or so cartridges that could use this bullet. So, impossible to say.

Try putting a micrometer on the bullet. That will give us a pretty good clue.

Doesn't look as though it's been fired...the measurement should help.

Nice medallion... without looking it up, that looks like a .30-06.... RickO

I hope this helps.

Think Cheif Pontiac came out of the center of a hubcap or horn button.
