The token is a 'Trade Token'. They were popular in KS in the 1920's. You'd need an old city directory for nearby towns (from the library) so you could 'The Red Light' at the address given. There are collectors who value trade tokens, but you'll probably want to keep your trophy!

I do want to keep them I actually found 2 within inches of each other and a 1868 Indian head. I don't believe it came from around here though. I have checked all the old city and town directories and no address matching or business name match. (Muncie, In. and surrounding small towns.) Thanks & HH Dave
