I found one of those scarf slides 2 weeks ago. Is there any way to date those?

 

[Mackaydon]

Colchin might work.
A couple of entries in the Decatur local paper (in 1912 and in the 20s) mention that name.

Okay - thanks! That helps a lot. William Peter Colchin had a confectionery in Decatur, IN ca. 1910. He was born in 1876 and died in 1956. He is buried in the St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Decatur. How about posting pics of that token on TokenCatalog.com for the good of the hobby? Did you find it anywhere near Decatur?
