American Eagle no cash value token

Does anyone know how old these gaming tokens are? And what type of games they were used for?



Found about an inch in the ground at a local park.

These were first put out in the 1970s and you can still buy them from the manufacturer - notice the small HH below the eagle/shield - that is Hoffman & Hoffman, now known as Hoffman Mint This type of token is used in a lot of video arcades and other amusement machines. They are pretty generic and the same types are used all over. It cost more to have a custom design put on them, but many arcades did that.

Thanks for the info! I was guessing about the 70's.

Mario--brewern just found one of these. If you are looking to buy this sort of token, go to Hoffman Mint for a manufacturer who can sell them to you.
