Spent 3 hours today and is this a trade token or game toy

Never had so many Mem pennies 3 1/2 to 4 inches deep as today. Found 28 of them today and other clad but no sure if this is a Trade Token or not. The pictures are not the best but one side has ( 25c ) the other ( G.McL&CC ) under the c in Mc there are two little lines.
Thanks JimmyT

On my screen I see B.McL.&Co. So it's a trade token,but a maverick. Mavericks have no place name (city),so you'll be lucky to ever find where it came from

But most of the tokens I've found are Mavericks and they are still good and interesting finds

Thanks, I've heard the term Maverick but didn't know exactly what it meant. The corrosion causes the G to look like a B I noticed that in the photo program will have to soak it in my Pepsi a few more hours and try to get the rest off.
Again, Thanks JimmyT

Plehbah,
Thanks for the leads wasn't sure how to start the research on this one first Maverick for me. Was lucky on the last one only took three trips to the library to track it down but it gave me the city and state up front. It's important to find out all I can since its been entrusted to me for safe keeping. Hope this is not the last one I find they have intrigued me more than anything else I've found.
Take Care
Jimmy
