A.E. Schmidt Company, established in 1850, is the oldest family-owned business in St. Louis.

The roots of Schmidt Billiards and Game Rooms reach back to St. Louis, Missouri, where owner Fred Schmidt learned the pool table trade from his father, Harold, and the seasoned pool tables technicians at A.E. Schmidt Co. Fred's great-great-grandfather, Ernst Frederick Schmidt, founded the A.E. Schmidt Co. in 1850 and built a pool tables manufacturing business based on craftsmanship. A.E. Schmidt pool tables continue to be produced in St. Louis by the Schmidt family and are renowned for tables quality and durability.

Here's your token for sale on eBay (scroll down):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120447833316
Unfortunately, no history to go with it.

The link to ebay is for a different token since it has no merchant name on it.

A.E. Schmidt tokens with no address on the reverse were produced in the 1942-1970 time period. If you would care to tell us what town the token was found in, I'd be willing to take a look at a few Dun & Bradstreets to see if it is a local issue.

Rats! I was hoping to turn this into a hometown piece, but with no luck.

I checked the Dun & Bradstreets under Fairfield in 1941-46-47-48-49-52-53-54-56-57-59-60 and found no mention of a Curry in the cigar business. Same for Palace Cigar. There was a Curry Grocery in 1947-48 but I doubt that has any bearing on your token.
