in this case Pat is Probably Short for Patricia, So the last name has Probably Changed.

Also What you Think is an S at the end of Nutlas

Looks like the Symbol For " & " to Me.

Something Like this ?


Compare to the S in Doster


Bob Nutla & Pat Doster July 18

Either the Date they Made it, The Date they met or Married ?

also Nutla may be a Misspelling of Nutella . maybe even Misspelled On purpose,
Due to Space Limitations. Though

It was easy Screwing up on those, I think Once you put your coin
in the machine you were on a timer to get it done or spend money & try Again.

And the Pointer needed to be Exact.

Notice He works Fast & thinks He isn't going to Make it in Time

Manufacturer: Standard Metal Typer, Inc. Year: 1938 - 1985

Always fun to find those and try to identify the owners. Good luck.

 

[A2coins]

really cool researching finds is fun

 

[Professor of Engineering]

Cool find! Would be fun to find the owner...

 

[cdickrun64]

I think that last letter is an upside down 3.....a substitute for an s

 

[cdickrun64]

....or a mistaken s

 

[jeff of pa]

there is no substitute S's on the choices, just an S.
There is not an Option to Stamp Upside Down Either.

To me it looks Most like an Upside Down 3, But that isn't Possible Either.
And Considering Location, it has to be their choice of symbols for &



Closest I Can Find is what I "Think" is a Pound Symbol ?



Could it be the British Version ?

Could this Token Have been Made in an British Airport ?


Pound Symbol Location Doesn't Fit Though,
Unless "Bob Nutla Pound Pat Doster July 18" ?
only if a 15 year old made it.

Still in My mind it Must be a Symbol for "&" to fit its location

Chances are July 1 is the date it was made, at a summer carnival..... wedding date?.... I doubt it, as a cheap token commemorating the date isn’t likely.
I’ve got several of these things.... cool to find, but also a pain in the arse. Never able to track down names, corroded aluminum is worthless, and it’s not a Barber Half like you were hoping for.

The little underlined c is used with the M (for names like McDuff), so it appears to be an error.

I have Located Likely Suspects on a Couple of them in the Past.

I just stick them in Envelops with a Short Note & mail them out.

Never got a Thank You, Up yours, or any other Response

Aaaah ! That was Hiding From Me

Definitely

Congrats on the Token. They used to be key chain tokens and really don't do too well in soil.

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

I just spent 20 minutes looking these names up lol. There is a Robert Nula in RI in his 70s. Used to live in NJ. Patricia Doster seems to be a common name when looking it up.

really cool find!

 

[cdickrun64]

How about Nutlan? In his haste to enter the last letter, hit the underlined c next to the n....

 

[diggummup]

Cool find. There have been several threads regarding these tokens over the last couple years. Errors are commonplace.
