Token Find

[bigcountrydigger]

Found this token metal detecting in my grandparents yard. Says You Pay on the front. On the back it says Merry Go Round Café. 10th and Race. Philadelphia. Would like to see why it ended up in a small town in Missouri.

Thanks

That is actually what is called a "spinner" - an advertising giveaway used to see who buys the round of drinks. I'd guess the hole in yours was made so it could be hung on a necklace or some such. The hole would mess up the spinning a bit. So, maybe it got carried from PA to MO around somebody's neck before it was lost.

Cool find!

My guess would be as idahotokens said. Someone probably visited PA, got that as sort of a souvenir, brought it back to MO with them, and lost it.
