It's an aluminum token. It dates from the 1950's and up into the 1970's I think. You could get anything you wanted printed on them. Yours appears to have possibly been damaged by fire.

ps- Probably made at a carnival or fair at an auto machine.

Thanks!!!! Why the name and date? I had not seen anything like that before.

Guess it's not a date

Hard to say what the numbers represent. Like I said, it was made with a coin op. stamping machine, you could put anything on them more or less.

I made one at the Baltimore Train Station when I was a kid that had my name and address on it. Looked just like that one.

Now that is cool, I had actually not seen one of those before.... funny as much as the wife watches American Pickers. Guess I should pay closer attention.
