found a brass washer type good for token.

sez good for 5c in trade on one side .reverse is just

numbers 13153. little bow tie at 6 oclock. and hole in the

middle like a washer.

i know any trade token is a keeper.

but back in the day how would a person have known

where it could be used.

in years of hunting this is the only ive ever

found that dont have a store name.

i did not take a pic my camers is only 1meg

and older cant closeup. hope description helps.

thanx catfish. these are prob pretty common then\

and not worth much. still neat to me as it is th only

oldie in awhile.

was the idea of using the token in the slot

machine to circumvent anti gambling laws.

the idea being u r betting a token not a real coin?

u c the same idea today in video poker machines

in states that dont allow money play

which are labeled "for amusement only"

but they pay in paper tickets which r redeemable

4 prizes.
