2 Short Hunts - 4/6/11 and 4/7/11

[Pocket Spill]

Got out for 2 short hunts to my favorite park.

On Wednesday night met Clad the Impaler there. In about 2 1/2 hours I got
a 1908 Barber dime, a 1920s State Bank of Chicago token (bank merged and changed names around 1930),
an army button (I though WWII vintage but based on maker back mark it is much older than I thought as the company went out of business in 1911) and 5 wheaties.

Went back Thursday evening for 2 hours and found the 2 tokens pictured and 9 wheaties.

Thanks Lowbatts. That confirms the other information I found. The maker is Charles Rubens & Co. , Chicago which based on the link you posted was in business from 1883 to 1911.
