My First Token Today

[Relic Girl]

It's definitely not the most valuable find of the day, but I was stoked to dig this Capitola token near Palmetto Ga.

Outstanding token! They are usually made of metals that don't hold up very well, so finding one in such great shape is excellent. I'm thinking from the 40's or so. Have you tried researching the company?

Your correct about the 40's! It's a token that was given out in a 48 pound bag of flour and could be redeemed for one admission at your favorite theatre. It's aluminum and it looked like a 70 year old token two hours before the photo..lots of rubbing with a flannel cloth.

I've got several of these found in the Atlanta, GA area over the years. There are several different styles of them.

Nice find!

Thanks Jeff!

Do you agree with this style being one of the 1940's? There's not a lot of info on the web about them.

Tokens are a blast to find. Especially ones you can still read w/o a magnifier.
