Hoffman pool room token and Col. Sanders bottle cap?

[snowyettie]

I was hunting in my grandparents house, came across a couple of Tokens and a strange bottle cap. In the pic the Token on the right is the one we can not find anything about, so we assume its probably newer? And this bottle cap that has a KFC's Col Sander clone on it, someone in my family said it could be a medicine bottle. My grandpa said the term "snake oil" Ha! What the heck is it?

This may solve the other Colonel Saunders look-a-like bottle caps found in the past.

The Schmidt company in St. Louis made tokens with this signature on the reverse from 1931-1946, but, like yours, most are "mavericks" and do not indicate the location of the businesses that ordered their tokens. I haven't been able to find anything to attribute the Hoffman piece, and with a rather common name like that, it may never be positively identified.

I thought the bottle cap was Commander Whitehead, the Schweppes guy

The bottle looks brown and not seltzer shaped. What was in the bottle? And why is the Commander wearing Col Saunders tie? just asking

Nope. If I type treasurenet or treasurenet.com into the search I dont get pictures/images. TN sends the text to Google but not the pictures on old threads but sometimes it works but usually no pictures/images... just the text.

Im going to do a clean up and run spyware and virus sweeps

Ok i think i know what you mean , you are getting the old cached pages from treasure with no images.
Ive had it do that but mostly on really old posts , not on this one.
Strange how one pc sees one thing while another pc sees something else.
Thats like the lost treasure metal detector sweepstakes I enter everyday for years with no problem but others always complain it rejects their entry.
The only difference is the pc its sent from.

Yes sir. Well I think, its broken. It kinda reminds me of a vanilla extract bottle, just bigger.

Thanks for the info! I have a token book, but it was more geared towards U.S. Government made ones. It was really bugging me, I'm glad you could give me a date range. Thanks again!
