There was a Fashion Bar in Honolulu in the early 20th century. I don't know if that's where that token was from, but its a starting point for you, at least.

Here's an ad from 1910

Token Catalog has a few "Fashion Bar" tokens listed in Washington.
3 in Aberdeen, 1 in Kent and 1 in Seattle.

I don't know if this link will work.

Mack - your Fashion Bar token was made by the C. H. Hanson Company of Chicago. This style was generally made from 1885-1905, and almost all of their tokens were mavericks (i.e. without town and state of the business where they were used). The Hanson company's customers were all over the country, but primarily within 100 miles of Chicago. With that in mind, there are proven examples from Washington, and all the states between there and Chicago. Proving where your token is from will be tough. I'd advise you to post it on tokencatalog.com
