Northampton County Find

I found a farmers market token from 5th Street Farmers Market. I know there is and has been a farmers market by this name in Reading. Wondering if anyone has seen one of these. Would like to find a general age on the token. I found it in Nazareth near an 1870's barn.

Thanks for looking...

Great token. Reading Farmers Market is one of the best. That token must be fairly old, I'm not sure you could even buy a "penny candy" with it these days.
