The 1872 - 1922 Indianapolis, IN City Directories show a Jacob J. Eckert as a baker there. Talk about a long career! That date range covers the time when H. Rice made tokens, but since it is a fairly common name, I'm going to run the attribution past the IN trade token cataloger before calling it good. More to follow...

Thanks, John!

The IN trade token cataloger agrees that this is from Indianapolis.
