Lord Baltimore Token - Date Guess?

Retired Fire · Nov 22, 2017

We found this today. It rang up 86-88 (Ace 400). I thought it was a modern Quarter. Then I got excited and thought I might have an English Copper. Not meant to be, instead it is this Advertising Token. Slightly larger than a US Quarter. And as my recent luck has it I can find nothing online except an old Ebay auction that has no information. It is a Lord Biltmore Clothes Token. I would really like to figure out the age. It was under leaves sitting less than an inch of dirt sitting on its edge on top of a rock formation. Looks like someone tried to cut it with snips. Any Help appreciated.

1920's is my guestimate

due to the hole in the top, I believe it's a key chain fob. Not sure about age, but to me it's got that 30's/40's look to it

Thanks Icewing and Jewelerguy! Those dates are about what I was guessing. The only examples I found that were from the same company all had the small hole. I think it probably had a small wire ring to hook keys or a chain to. Custom clothes were probably shipped with this to spread the word to friends about their clothes. Thanks for the response.
