Gillette Heads/Tails Token...2 Cent piece

Not found together, but a couple of my more interesting finds for the year. Found the 2 cent piece in a field that produced many very old coins (most of them found my Merf the human locust).
Found the Gillette Heads Tails token in the parkway in front of my house that I must have hunted 20 times...just goes to show you that no area is ever hunted out. I could find nothing about the token on the net, anyone able to tell me about it, the token is the biggest i've found so far.
Thanks and HH!
