Could the name on the token perhaps end with a T rather than an I? There was an Edward Gettrost who is shown in the 1930 Census as proprietor of a bowling alley in Columbus, OH. The 1926 Columbus City Directory shows E. W. Gettrost - Billiards - 40-46 N. Front, 68 E. Gay, 592½ N. High, & basement 175 S. High. The 1932 Columbus City Directory shows Gettrost Bowling & Amusement Co. - 40-46 N. Front. The 1938 - 1946 Columbus City Directories show Gettrost Recreation - 40 N. Front. The 1953 Columbus City Directory shows Gettrost Recreation - 44 N. Front.

Did you find it anywhere near Columbus? There is a new edition of the OH token book being prepared and it would be nice to have good, in-focus pics of both sides so this one could be included.
