Improved Order of Red Men Token

[baspinall]

Went out today for the first time in a while. Went to scout a few spots that turned out to be "posted" as usual. Then hit a park that I have been to a few times. Dug this 1920 token from the "Improved Order Of Red Men". Never even heard of this organization. Was also cherry picking quarters. $4.50 worth

Little info on them.

I believe it's a 300th year commemorative piece; the dates appear to be 1620 and 1920
