Token

[TENNESSEEGAL]

Hi guys! I was searching a field where a house burned down about 50 or 60 years ago. I found this token and my brother DangLangley and I havent been able to find anything on it. I was hoping one of you could help me identify it and possibly age it. I appreciate you help. A couple of pictures I am posting will look different than the original because I altered them to make the words stand out better! Thank you!!














The front says H. Mangels 2 1/2 the back says Excelsior St Louis. 312 Olive Street
