I agree with Chris.....keep in mind the nazis only hijacked that cross back in the 1930's prior to that it was a sign of peace and good luck going back to very ancient times pre BC even.

Given the above facts I'd say yours would at least predate the 1930's because no company in their right mind would want to make the association with the nazi era.

This sign is even on boy scout tokens for good luck as they said pre world war 2. Very cool find.

That symbol has a very interesting ancient history and was considered lucky for a long time, Sadly the original meaning of that symbol was completely destroyed during WWII and lost for obvious reasons, that symbol was never looked at as it was before the war regardless of being used as luck for over one thousand years. It looks to be a very nice business token from the 1900's-1920's, very typical of that time.

Very nice find!

It seems to be for a very obscure company. I've seen 2 references to Nafruco and they both were for Soda fruit flavors. The caption on the trays does mention Boston for the Nafruco tray.

I didn't find it in the Boston section of the Token Catalog. You should contact them, I'm sure they would want to include it.

Patterson's United States Swastika Tokens, Medals, Watch Fobs, & Good Luck Charms lists this piece, but does not give any dates or history. I see online references to the National Fruit Products company 1912-20.
