Hope this helps and maybe you can help them out as well because it seems they are in search of a picture. http://tokencatalog.com/token_recor...d=33161&attribution_id=57146&td_create_uid=39

Red--in answer to your initial question, trade tokens like this one were usually ordered in quantities ranging from 100 to 10000. The ravages of time, WWII scrap metal drives, and other factors probably took out 90-99% of them. Since it is not listed in the major databases of "maverick" tokens (i.e. the Token and Medal Society, National Association of Token Collectors, Indiana-Kentucky-Ohio Token and Medal Society, etc) and is not on TokenCatalog.com, the casualty figure is probably at the higher end of that range. So, very rare. Especially compared to coins. But don't think that rarity equals value, since the laws of supply and demand hold true. A maverick token (one without town and state) from that part of the country is just not in that high of demand. Especially one that has not been attributed or proven where the business was. I suspect it was used in the business of Frederick William Lenhoff in Kenton County, KY as he is the only guy I have been able to find with the correct surname and initials. But for most of his life, that guy was a bricklayer and I have yet to come across anything that shows him owning a saloon. Quite often ventures into that business were short-lived and left few traces. Tell us the state and maybe county where you found it - that might provide a clue. Also consider posting it on TokenCatalog.com as C. Sailor suggested. With your permission, I could post your pics if you don't want to.

Red--Erlanger, KY is where the Frederick William Lenhoff lived, so I'll pursue that lead.
