Found this nice big token in a private yard this evening. Half dollar size, and copperish.
Anyone ever found one of these?
How old is it?
Rare?
Thanks in advance,
Jon Dickinson

"Ruberoid was created by William Griscom for The Standard Paint Company. The company began in 1886 and Ruberoid was introduced that same year. The colored Ruberoid called Kaloroid was introduced in 1898. Your token was probably made and distributed in/around 1908."

"In 1921 the company changed it's name that year to The Ruberoid company. It was purchased by different corporations over the years and had a number of company name changes. The product is still in use today in one form or another."
