1910 house...couple of wheats and an old token??

[detectorben]

Found these 2 wheat pennies and and my first old token at a home built in 1910. The house was home to mayor of this town at one point and a brickyard office. I could not find any info online about this token so I cannot date it. If anyone had any ideas I would love to hear them. I know nothing about old tokens. Any suggestions on cleaning it would be appreciated as well.

A 5¢ J. H. Givens (soft drinks, ca. 1917) token is listed in the Nebraska Trade Tokens book, but I am not certain that yours is not a different variety. I will check with the author. As for cleaning, I don't think it needs it. Please post it on tokencatalog.com, or with your permission, I could do it.
