The Nebraska Trade Tokens book lists it and another piece from Feichtinger's Beer, Wine, Liquor, Tobacco (3 varieties, all cardboard - a real MD challenge). That points to a post-WWII date. The 1900-30 Censuses didn't show any Feichtingers in Burchard, so I checked my 1946 Dun & Bradstreet Directory. It shows in Burchard: Emma (Mrs. L. G.) Feichtinger - Liquors & Restaurant. So then I looked back in the 1930 Census and find Lee and Emma Feichtinger farming in Snyder, Dodge County, NE. The Social Security Death Index says Emma died in Oct 1977 - a family tree says Lee died in Jun 1968.
