Need an ID on a Token - SOLVED

[Wallhangers]

I googled this and it stated that it is a masonic token but I would like to have an idea of the era. Thanks for any help on this.

Neat token. Nothing really reminds me of anything masonic on it though, but could be.

It may be an Anna Eva Fay magic token circa 1910 sold as a good luck coin after shows. Cool find. Here is a similar example. http://www.magictricks.com/museum/tokens/coinsfay.htm

Thanks for the ID on that BigCypressHunter! I had hopes of it being from the 1800's but thats OK.
