The Royal Brand token

[cgdigger]

Anything know anything about this token? The front has a standing lion with "the Royal" in cursive in the middle, with awards for excellence, etc., around the edge. The back says "Presented to a Good Boy Wearing a Royal Brand Suit" etc. Edit - I see there have been forums on this token before. Not all that much info in them, so if anyone has anything else to offer, I'm all ears. Other than that, presented for your viewing pleasure.

This ad indicates that the company was in business at least as early as 1910. Other sources suggest that they remained active into the 1940's.
