CHICAGO MAGIC COMPANY TOKEN

[suzyqdogs]

HI ALL! DOES ANYONE KNOW THE APPROXIMATE AGE OF THE TOKEN I FOUND OVER THE WEEKEND? IT SAYS THE SAME ON BOTH SIDES AROUND THE RIM - CHICAGO MAGIC CO. WITH 5 STARS. IN THE CENTRE IS A HAND WITH A COIN BETWEEN EVERY FINGER. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

According to Magician's Tokens and Related Items by F. William Kuethe, Jr., the date of the token is unknown— or at least it was at the time of publication (1978). However, based on the dates of various Chicago Magic Company catalogs offered for sale, a good guess might be c. 1920's-40's.
