Nice Little Trade Token

[wisconsinACE]

Went out on a short hunt today in a large wooded area near the house, Got alot of the usual junk but did find a nice trade token and a unique 12 gauge shell. The token is for a saloon in Minneapolis Minnesota and dates back from 1912 to 1916. Did find a few shotgun shell brass that were standard finds for this area but I have never seen the Robinhood brand before.

It use to cost 2 and a half cents to rent a pool cue, they would give you a token for change from your nickle. That way they got it all.
