Unique Token?

[sirlostalot]

Someone told me this was not listed in any of his Indiana token references. He also said that an Indiana cataloger never saw one before. Thought you guy might like to see it. Any thoughts on what it might be worth?

i looked in a 1919 business register and it's not listed, meaning it's probably earlier.
the token itself, style, looks older as well. sorry no help.

I was able to locate some info on him on Ancestry -

1900 Census - indexed last name incorrectly but I think it is him. Occupation is listed as "saloon keeper"-
