Found Calvin Coolige token need input from Michigan friends

[jamest64]

Hello Michigan team. Posted this originally in Today's finds, but thought I would re-post it in our forum. Found this near TC at a friends family homestead. Thought I lost it, found it this week rolling around in the bottom of my detecting bag. It is aluminum. Guy on ebay selling one as Crackerjack token from the 1930's. But it is not the same as those tokens. Anyone have input as to the token origins? It is about the size of a quarter.

Nice find Jim, hopefully we can figure out it's origin!

Jim, if it's from Cracker Jacks, here's a link to a book that lists all Cracker Jack Toys...

Jim, looks like it's not from Cracker Jacks, sorry!

thanks but when I looked that up it appears the back of the Crackerjack coin is different. But that book looks interesting.

There were several types of play money coins made. Not actually a token, but toys for kids. Neat find congrats.

Very interesting, thanks, still no clear answers. Somewhere I saw a reference to tokens made by Shell Oil. Need to see what they look like.

I have not got anywhere looking this coin/token up. Any other ideas?
