Token Help, I know it's a longshot.

I found this token Sunday morning at an abandoned town site. I think it is aluminum and reads "Franks Place" on one side and 5c drink on the other. There is no record of a Franks Place here so i was wondering if anyone else has any info on it. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I wouldnt know but the guys on this forum are bound to identify it. You might want to include the location you found it at so they can research it though. I have seen tokens from hot dog type stands. Give em some more info. They will help you

What was the name of the town and/or what town or city is near you? "Franks Place" in southwest Georgia really isn't much to go on...

The more info we get, the more likely you are to get a good answer.

Sorry for the lack of information. It was found outside Leesburg, Ga. The biggest town nearby would be Albany, Ga. I talked to a local amateur historian and he has never heard of a "Franks Place" in our area. Some other finds from this area include a medal with "Golden Gate International Exposition" around the perimeter and "San Francisco Bay 1939" in the middle along with a depiction of the bridge. On the back it reads "Treasure Island" and there is a depiction of a sunrise or sunset behind the bridge and an island in the foreground. Coin and button finds date from the 1840s to the 1920s.

The one from St Paul is similar in style and I think it is made of the same material as mine. Thanks for the help.
Edit: i lso found this token http://tokencatalog.com/token_recor...75969&attribution_id=234348&td_create_uid=300 on the same site. It is also similar to mine and a lot closer.
