Silver Cigarette case +

[bergie]

Went out for hours and hours on Saturday to an old 1800s home...found four wheaties...and got this silver cig case (I kind of trashed it too, but luckily I hit the back of it with the digger, and not the front too much). I also got this "Heads I Win/Tails you lose" token, anyone know how old? Thanks to Earthworks for the photos...

I believe that this "cherub on a chamberpot" token was issued sometime in the 1920's-30's as an advertising piece for Cascarets, a chocolate-flavored laxative product. Heads/tails tokens of this type are known as "flippers." There is another Cascarets variety which depicts the product on both sides, as shown below:
