Awesome token! Do you know the age on it?
 

I think it's from the late 20's, early 30's.
I think lots of things.
Happy things.
Tokens are happy things.
Depression-era, I'm thinking right now.
Gotta love them tokens!

That's a pretty sweet token.
 

Beautiful!! I love old tokens! Nice find!
 

TOTALLY GROOVY TOKEN! :wav:

I like how someone punched hole in it -- either wore it or maybe used it as a "poor man's" watch fob, lol.

HAVE FUN! Andi
 

I think the more accurate name is store card , since there's not a "good for" or monetary amount indicated and simply an advertising piece highlighting the address and purpose of the issuer

still a very neat find!

Looking at that, it may have had a hole in when it was made, Don's example looks like it did, and notice the separation in the e's in street, I'd say it was holed when produced
 

Very cool Woody! Love those tokens!
 

because of the spacing between the E's and the small intentional hole, I would imagine this had a gold string looped through it and it was looped around a button on a suit. kind of like a tag
 

That's different! Nice token!
 

Nice find, I would submit a photo to tokencatalog.com because it seems they don't have a good photo of one of these tokens.
