Just a couple items, I found some years ago and just re- ran across them while I was going thru things. One is from a Bartles-Maguire oil company, Milwaukee, Wi... like a good luck token sounds like some where around 1915 ..
The other is some kind of I don't know what .... here is no writing on it or date one side a castle other look carefully a face, don't know what caused the black looks like white or silver colored metal in spots where black isn't.. I thought it might have been some kind of token from so type of kids entertainment place .. no clue Any ideas ?????

Did some looking around think its an aladdins castle token from the 80's
 

The second one is a modern arcade token. I have dozens of them. the first one is much better! :)
 

really neat tokens!
 

Nice tokens! Hard to believe that at one point in time that the swastika was a good luck symbol. Hitler messed that up!

:thumbsup:
 

Love tokens!
Yep, Aladdan's Castle was or is a chain of arcades. Older kid had a birthday at that madhouse once, arghh!

The older is really cool though!
 

I love the Bartles & Maguire token....

Earliest article I can locate is from 1923...but the one I am posting is from 8 April 1927....
