I have a token, found in Indiana, that I can't find in any of my references. Could it be Rushville, Indiana? Illinois? Any help would be appreciated.

Playdium / Cigar / Store / Rushville // Good For / 5c / In Trade Aluminum Round
 
Not listed in either Wagaman's IN Book or Grant's update, although interestingly there is one shown as Portland, IN that reads:
Playdium / Cigar / Store / Portland. The towns are not close enough to be operated by the same concern. What makes you suggest Indiana? Was it found in that state? There were postoffices named Rushville in 7 states in 1913.

John, the token was found in Connersville, Indiana, which is about 16 miles from Rushville, so I thought Indiana would be at least be a good possibility.
 
Here are pics of both sides

The Playdium Cigar Store is listed under Rushville, IN in the 1946-49-52 Dun & Bradstreet as cigars & billiards.
