Two-day hunt at an old dried-up town, no longer on current maps but present in 1800s. Today revealed an 1895 IHP finial to something, 1929 taxi license, 1895 IHP, crusty 1899 Barber Quarter and an insane 1877 Seated Half. Spent a couple of days there, last pic is yesterday's finds which included a '59 fattie indian, $5 token, 48-52 ford truck key, silver plated junker ring, 1907 IHP. Great couple of days in incredible finds and chatting it up and learning local history from local homeowners still in the area.

PS: In 1928, Finsterwald had several locations in the Detroit area, but by 1956 they were down to just this one store.
PPS: Finsterwald Furniture moved to that location in 1919; the earliest possible date for your token.
