I'll check your other postings when I get recovered from a 2-week out of town work assignment, but this one I suspect is either from right there in Spokane or perhaps from Seattle, WA. There was a Charles Barnold in Spokane ca. 1889-93 and he later moved to Seattle and was a manager of a bottling works there in 1910, 1920, & 1930. He died in Seattle in 1942. I haven't been able to determine when he was in a business that would have used tokens - perhaps you could do some checking in the city directories at the Spokane library and see what he was doing before he moved to Seattle.
