Amusement Only token

[Darby]

Found this token Saturday with my buddy Jdsly in an area where we've found numerous 18th and 19th century relics. No idea on age or use. Any input will be greatly appreciated! We also found 8 buttons, a couple buckles and a couple musket balls...well worth having to bundle in windy thirty something degree weather! Thanks for looking!

Modern arcade token. I have piles of them from various places and a small collection of those that are marked with the name of the arcade. Fun find but you still have to go to work tomorrow... lol

This is from a type of slot machine used in the 1930s which sucked in nickels and paid out tokens. This was to circumvent gambling laws. Even though the tokens stated they had no cash or trade value, they were usually redeemable for 5¢ in trade at the candy or cigar counter near the machine.

Thanks idahotokens! I found this at a site where most finds are older relics. First token I've found and hoped it was older but still excited with the find! Thanks again for helping date it. Have a great day!
