That's a WONDERFUL token! Maverick, but one of the BEST mavericks I've seen anywhere.

Looks like it was originally G O O G, and then overstamped with the "D"... LOL

Thanks Jim----I have to wonder what it was used for. :icon_scratch: It looks homemade.

It's a common themed token and think this was handmade for a friend... or wanna-be friend. A maverick (I know you hate that term - LOL) and prolly from the 20s - 50s.

Yes handmade, but nice to have in your pocket I am sure! You never know when it will come in handy..

They were given away as prizes for games at county fairs between 1890 and 1930, when county fairs had kissing booths. If you did not have a token a kiss could cost anywhere from a quarter to a dollar.(only the pretty girls could get a dollar for a kiss), Tony

PS: This is an early one! The newer ones were done by machine, this one appears to have been done by hand.
