Menter Clothing Token

[neodetectorist]

I had an average day, for me anyway with about 2 bucks in clad, a Chucky Cheese Token and this other token from The Menter Clothing Store. Research is all over the place from 1913 to 1953 when the stores apparently closed.
Some of these have the city address on them but this one does not.
Larger than a 1/2 dollar.
Any info on how to date these?
I think the patina is awesome on this one.

Yep, that one is in pretty good shape.
Found the same token in Brooklyn last year.
No way to put an exact date on them.
Congrats

GREAT link idahotokens. Thank you very much. That makes this token much more valuable to me. When I was collecting old bottles, especially milks, I would love to research the old dairies that the bottles came from that I found that were local dairies. These dairies have long since vanished but having a story keeps them very much alive like this token.
I found this in a school yard and now I wonder if it was lost by a student who got a woopin for losing it LOL (hope not because I can see me doing that as a kid also)
