Nice token! Michael Cantlon was proprietor of the Pittsmont Hotel at 2124 Fir in East Butte, Montana in 1913, per the City Directory. He also had a saloon in Butte, but I'll bet he also had a bar in the hotel. That was a typical thing to find in most early hotels. Did you find it anywhere near Butte? If you would post it on Richard's Token Database - TokenCatalog.com (or give me permission to use your picture) that would greatly help the token collecting hobby.

And, by the way, you can't find the location of East Butte on today's maps because they are gone. Consumed by the Anaconda Copper Company's open pit mine that is now flooded and called the Berkeley Pit. Full of horrible stuff in water, it is the poster child for EPA cleanup sites. The company bought all the property in East Butte when they expanded the pit in the 1950s.
