IMG_2051.JPGIMG_2049.JPG I thought I found a store token, but when I turned it over it was blank... after I looked it over I tried to search what I could decipher. What looks like 2 holes on the one side did not transfer over to the back. then i found out what it really was.

Nice find even though its not a token. I've never seen one posted here before.
 

I LOVE finding stuff like this. Coins/tokens are plentiful and simply are what they are; there's nothing to really research or find. A piece like this, however, has everything that I love about the hobby! I'm not sure what I love more, the thrill of the hunt, the triumph of discovery, or the research/learning that comes after the fact.

Great find, man!
 

Nice find, excellent research.
At first glance, I saw "Vendor" instead of "Veeder"
That little oversight would definitely throw my research off.
Congrats on a nice find.
 

I like it ya never know what your gonna find that's cool thanks for sharing it!!!!!
