I found a White Sewing Machine token while searching the grounds of an old home that my Uncle owns in Carson City Michigan. I found the same one on Ebay (I am using their photos as they are cleaner and clearer than the ones I took). It was 8 inches down and rang up as a quarter on my Garrett 2500.

Some history:
White Sewing Machine Company was an appliance company founded in 1858 in Boston, Massachusetts by Thomas H. White and based in Cleveland, Ohio since 1866. Founded as the White Manufacturing Company it took the White Sewing Machine Company name when it was incorporated in 1876.

The company took the name White Consolidated Industries in 1964.
(Therefore, your token predates 1965.)

White Consolidated Industries was ultimately acquired by Electrolux in 1988.
