As posted in Today's Finds: Matt--I'm going to hazard a guess that the token is from Charles W. Gatesman who had a saloon at 617 Summit in Toledo ca. 1897-1907 or so. I'll check with the guys who are updating the Ohio tokens book to see what they think. Any chance of getting a good, in-focus closeup of both sides?

Nice find! It is amazing the difference in quality tokens used by bars years ago.
