I dug this Shell token a little earlier today, at least I think it is a Shell token. At first I didnt think anything of it but when i read the inscription on the back it referred to FDR being the only man elected president 3 times---Roosevelt was elected 4 times. What are the chances this dates to pre-1944?
THe full inscription the back reads "Asst Sec of the Navy Governor of New York Was made president during a period of great economic depression Became the first US president to be elected for three terms" "A New Deal" arcs above the inscripton and "Onward America" arcs below.
I did a little research---it very closely resembles tokens that the Shell Oil company issued as promotional items but the Shell tokens i have seen refer to Roosevlt being elected 4 times and have to dates on the front of the token---1933 and 1945. I dont know if you can call in the pic but this just has the date of 1933.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
