Can any of you token guys help a brother out :-)

[Stormtrooper154]

found this token and I am going to give it a little tumble. However, since I know nothing about tokens, I just wanted to get any info you may come up with on it. Wouldn't wanna tumble something that shouldn't have been if you know what I mean.

Maverick Token...I guess that's what it is called, same design on both sides.

Top Line = Good For Five Cent
Middle Image = A Zero or a Letter O
Bottom Line = In Trade

Found in the Metro Portland, OR area.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, maverick tokens with just initials (or one initial like this one) are pretty much impossible to attribute. This one is not listed in Hemphill's Oregon token book or any other source I have access to. It probably came from the days right after Prohibition where some guy named Olson, etc. had a speakeasy. He didn't really want his name available to the law enforcement people on his tokens as they could be circumstantial evidence that he was dealing in liquor or gambling.
