Unknown Token

[Guest 1551]

Probably a long shot, but can anyone ID this token? It says "Jacksonville" on one side (all i can make out) and on the other side i believe i can make out "good for 7¢". Note the reeded design on the outside of the token which may help to get an ID.

Anyone have anything on Jacksonville tokens?

Here's a good link for searching tokens

There just isn't much to work with there. Not impossible, but a longshot.

I know nothing about tokens, but I can't help but notice the resemblance it has to modern American money.

I looked at the token catalog last night for a bit. No smoking guns there but the reeded edge as you mentioned helps a little bit. Other tokens made similarly and sometimes in different states leads me to make my best guess(es). Either a billiard hall or bakery token. Similar billiard hall token from Osceola that had a reeded edge like that made in the 1920s. The uncommon denomination "good for 7 cents" may be just that or the 7 is not for "cents" but perhaps "good for 7 meals" etc. Saw a few tokens like that.

Hope this helps.
