Good Luck Charm (date?)

[ThatsABalk]

Found on the banks of a reservior in MA. At first I thought it was a large cent, but on closer exam found it to be a good luck token of some sort. It reads "membership emblem of the don't worry club" It has a swastika on one side, and within the arms of the swastika are a four leaf clover, wishbone and horseshoe. On the obverse is an advertisement for salt, depicting a bag and some lettering I can't make out (probably the company selling the salt) Any idea on age? I know the swastika symbol was a good luck symbol long before Adolph adopted it for his party. Thanks. Sorry no pic.

You are welcome,
Upon some further investigation it looks like the Worcester Salt Factory was located in Silver Springs, NY.
Does this jive with where you found it?

My bad, I see the MA in your initial post. Ultimatly the amount of salt produced at thast factory could have reached as far as CA so I would assume that the tokens could be found anywhere!
