Car Wash Token - No Cash Value

[pinenut]

Hey folks, I dug this up today. Anyone know approximate age and where it could be from?




Also, anyone know what this angel thing might be? Found in the same area. I think it's not aluminum; too heavy. Not crusty either, but pretty sure it had been there for quite a while. Maybe a lucky charm, or?



Edit: Found out the silly angel thing is pewter and called a "pocket angel"... I guess it's for good luck. Maybe I'll glue it to my detector. ^_^

Until a member(s) pipes in - Apparently your token was made by TOKENS DIRECT. I found your token on the Can anybody give me a time period for this parking token? I found a bunch of them on the net - here is just one (next to yours) - notice the initials (might reflect the initials of the carwash) are different below the car...

Still manufactured, and in use in many states. Love the Angel!

HH is the "mintmark" of the maker - Hamilton Mint? I'm not remembering right off. Yours is a fairly generic carwash token and could have been used almost anywhere in the USA. Mid-1980s to present.
