It looks like it says "THE HUB" .. Was there a billiard parlor in that area? Certainly has the looks of a billiard parlor token.

Yes, There were many bars in the area, I think You are right it being " The Hub" (Thank-You!) The Token Catalog has a 2½ cent listed for Omaha, For that business, But no picture !

Thanks for posting the picture on tokencatalog. I believe that the fact you found this in south Omaha pretty well eliminates the thought that this would be attributed to Baltimore, MD, even though it is listed in Schenkman's MD book. The listing in the NE book works a lot better for a 2½¢ token which was typical of a pool hall.
