Tippecanoe Pendant

By trueblues, 5 March, 2011
Description

I have tried to no avail to research this and get an idea of what and when this piece is from.  It is marked "Tippecanoe" on the front bottom with an Indian bust on the right side middle and another bust (William Henry Harrison?) on the left side middle facing the other.  It has 2 long handled axes that cross and shaking hands across the top.  I dont know if this a commemorative piece from the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, in which William Henry Harrison was considered the "Hero" of, or a reference to his election in 1840 with the "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" slogan.  Maybe it isnt either of  those.  I have researched tokens/jewelry/medallions/commemorative/presidental etc. and can not find this anywhere.
