Health Food Bakery token from Boise, Idaho

[niffler]

I found this token in a construction site in Boise last Saturday. Turns out it is a maverick from Boise, and it is from the Health Food Bakery, run by Edward Washington and Charles Ware at 903 W. Bannock Street in 1905. It is aluminum and strangely shaped. My thanks to John, AKA Idahotokens for the information and ID.

great token & ID! you're right the shape is not so common. referred to as scalloped (4 Sc)
12 scalloped tokens are more often seen, many in coal tokens. but there are 8 Sc and others likely

Thanks for the information intimer! Although I have found tokens over the years, I never really took the time to learn about them much.
