I'm not sure what that stamp plate is, but I really like the Sunoco token. Nice find.

I wonder if you can lightly do a rubbing with the side of a lead pencil on a piece of thin paper and see if you can make out the letters ? I like the token you found.

Nice finds!

To my old eyes, it looks like it says, This way to ye olde Templar Meeting House?

;)

I'd like to see a better pic too.

Thanks for sharing!

I tried that once with an aluminum milk lid I dug up but it was too crinkled up to make sense.

That's how this is... I've got better pix but the stupid app keep crashing ... grr

Cool token, did you ever get anything from your scratching on that plate, maybe rub some olive oil on it, might be able to read something in the light off it like that?
