keep it for "scumbags" in the park.....

I have done extensive research on that token and even the city where I found it, knows nothing. We even did a local newspaper archive search. I found it in Plymouth, Michigan. there was a Masonic temple nearby, but they knew nothing either. There used to be a brick factory nearby, and the old plank rd. which is now main street, got paved with bricks. But that was done well after 1924. So, if anyone knows anything about that token......H-E-L-P!.......NGE

Sorry 'bout that intimer. I knew it was from Plymouth Mich, but no one there knows anything about it. The high school burned down in 1916 and was rebuilt by 1923, there used to be a brick factory in town and that's where the bricks came from to rebuild the school. Also, Main street was paved with bricks and I think it may have had something to do with the local Masonic lodge in town. I took it to them and they said they knew nothing about the token. Tonquish creek is the creek that runs through town and was named after an indian chief by the name of Tonquish..........NGE Other than that, I have come to a dead end.
