In the late 1800s and early 1900s, little gold baseball and football charms were given to college players as awards. They're a bit like little medals. It belonged to the person engraved on back. They're scarce, especially from the 1800s. I've seen them before, including some that belonged to Smoky Joe Wood when he was Yale coach.

Yale and Princeton was a big game, and I believe Princeton was co-National Champion that year, so yours is a nice one for sure.
