So, I have tried to do much research on this and have come up with very little.  I have ruled out other Lincoln companies and have decided that this piece has a good chance of being a one of a kind thing.  First of all, Henry Leland, inventor, engineer and machinist had his golden hands into everything, especially in the early 1920's.  He founded Cadillac, resigned, then formed Lincoln Motor Co. in 1917. He built 6,500 Liberty aircraft engines for World War I.  After the war, he and his son decided to build a luxury motorcar.  The first Lincoln was finished in Sept. 1920.  A bad economy forced the Lelands to sell to Ford in 1922.  I kept trying to find out the Minneapolis, Minnesota connection and I came up with a photo and information stating that "Starting in 1912, Ford Motor Company opened regional assembly plants throughout the United States." The article went on to say "Ford's first Minneapolis, Minnesota, plant opened in 1912, and a newer facility followed two years later." This article does not say anymore until "operations were consolidated at the Twin Cities Assembly Plant in nearby St. Paul in 1925. I am thinking that the LINCOLN BUILT EQUIPMENT CO. OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA  was at that plant for a bit, maybe in 1921 just before Ford Motors bought Lincoln Motors in 1922.  Leland probably made some deal with Ford to still have control of something called Lincoln Built Equipment, but it never panned out. OR, Leland and Ford had some deal with the purchase of Lincoln in 1922  to share space in the MN factory for Lincoln to make some piece of Equipment that never came to fruition. Then the MN factory closed in 1925. 

Getting back to my item.  I am calling it a keychain, but it could be something else.  It has a space on the top for the "Style No., Serial No." which have not been filled out. The reverse side has the saying "NOBODY EVER GOT LOST ON A STRAIGHT ROAD" with a cameo of Abe Lincoln, which was who Henry Leland named his luxury Lincoln Motorcar after.  Abe Lincoln was the first president that Leland voted for in 1864 and he admired him.  (The Ford Museum has many of President Lincolns artifacts.)  Abe's actual saying was NO MAN ever got lost, but this says NOBODY ever got lost, but still has a pic of Abe. Still confusing.  Research is sometimes easy, and sometimes hard.  This was hard, but very interesting when it comes to Henry Leland. Some of the great websites I found were :  the Henry ford.org.  Angela Krause Lincoln of Alpharetta GA.  History of Lincoln. Leland-Detroit Monorail Train99.com.  My conclusion to all of this is that this item is from the Henry Leland era of Lincoln Motors. He admired President Abe Lincoln and that is why the saying on the reverse. Leland had so many irons in the pot. He could have been working on some new tractor or something. I believe it to be from before 1925.  Measures 3/4" x 1 1/2". It is very cool and a bit of a mystery!!
