Token found on Saturday

azmetaldetector · Nov 23, 2009

Found this token in a lot in Phoenix on Saturday.
It's pretty beat up as it's aluminum, and Octagon shaped.

It reads 'Geo. N. Marshall Co.' on the front.

The reverse reads 'Good for 5 in trade'.

Can't find it in the Arizona token book. But regardless, I love to find trade tokens.

Thanks SO much for this information. I thought I might never know anything about this company and thus the token.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
