Sometimes you just cant find any history on the tokens, but they are still a nice historical piece to dig.

If you can give us a area that it was found in, it could help narrow it down, and give a reference point to research.

That's a nice token.

Sweet token. Love those ones that are not round. We have a few which we have never been able to ID as well. It's frustrating!!!

Picking what I can off the token, I see Fast Jim's - Bartholomew - Restaurant - Hartford. I'm going to hazard a guess that a good place to start looking would be Bartholomew Ave. in Hartford, Connecticut.

Nice dig, I like tokens, always nice to find.

The Bartholomew Restaurant is listed in the 1946-56 Hartford City Directories at 122 Bartholomew Avenue with Andrew Howaniec (in 1946). Mary Papalao (in 1950), and Matthew Guastamacgio (in 1956) as proprietors. Probably somewhere along the line one of the proprietors was a guy named Jim. What is the measurement (across the flats) of this token?
John in the Great 208
