1923 movie token

[Exintrick]

Well, I've been a member here for a little over two years and have made a total of 2 posts. Decided it was time to quit lurking so much and start actually posting some of my finds.

Here's a token I found last week in my backyard. It's from a 1923 silent movie "The Courtship Of Miles Standish". The movie was a bomb ended up financially ruining the star and main backer, Charles Ray. No known copies of the movie exist today. It's not in great condition, but up until a couple days ago was the oldest verifiable item I've dug (beat it with a 1913 wheatie on Saturday).



Anyone have any good tips on cleaning? All I've done so far is water and a soft toothbrush to get the Okie red clay off of it. It actually looks considerably better in real life. Gotta brush up on my photography skills.

Thanks for looking!

I would leave it as is... those old tokens can be pretty fragile.

Yep! Had never heard of it before, and found that same link you posted when I searched for it. Researching the junk I find is part of what I love about MDing.
