That may be the coolest token I've ever seen.

Is the top smooth?
Looks like a watch fob.
Either way, that's a great find!

This token is 1 inch high and 3/4 inch wide, about half the thickness of a dime.

Thanks, it was found at an 1870's home built for a wealthy resident, I imagine he had such a safe in his home. So far Ihave not found much history 0f the Alpine Safe and Lock Co. of Cincinnati Oh. I have a contact in Cincinnati but he cannot find much other that is was owned by a Jewish family and is no longer in business. By-the-way, Cincinnati was the center of safe manufacturing in the late 1800s into the mid 1900s.
