✅ SOLVED Old Token. What could it be?

[coinsareawesome]

I have this old token I got. I only know that it is a one cent token and it is not transferable. I have searched on the Internet any keyword that might help; I even checked on Ebay and I still didn't find anything that helped.

They are not the same picture; they are the same front and back.

My dad worked at a "Penny Arcade" in the late 1950's he told me once some of the machines took tokens. Most didn't though. Possible its a generic token from a penny arcade. ?

TokenCatalog.com shows a number of varieties of this token. Unfortunately, there are two possible attributions. First is Eau Claire, WI. Gerald Johnson, the author of the WI Trade Token book in 1993 states that it is from "Leas Bowen" - it is noted on the site that he found a hoard of these there. The second attribution is to Fort Worth, TX, "Leonard Bros." There was a huge hoard of Leonard Bros. store tokens found in Fort Worth and they were documented in an article in Talkin' Tokens, the publication of the National Association of Token Collectors, several years ago. I'll see if I can locate the article.
