Some interesting North Texas finds--- Could use some help with a few!

I had the privilege of hunting three different spots in the last few days and had a great time. I found a 1927 buffalo and a 1946 dime. Also found several old overall buttons and suspenders. My favorite find was an old hotel fob of some sort. It says Frisco Hotel, 28, Sherman Texas. I can't find ANYTHING online and the historical society didn't have any answers for me. Any idea of the age? Also found a token that I can't find anything about. The coolest part is the phone number only has three digits. It is from Plainview, Texas. Has anyone seen one of these? Thanks!

There is more, some articles that mention the hotel (in passing).[h=3]The Democrat. (McKinney, Tex.), Vol. 19, No. 12, Ed. 1 Thursday, April 24, 1902[/h]Date: April 24, 1902
