Hello THN,

The token about which you're asking is from Salt Lake City, Utah.

Its value in Bob Campbell's book, Utah Trade Tokens, is listed at $8.00 - $15.00. This is the most complete publication about Utah tokens.
This book is out of print and even the soft cover edition is expensive. Supplements A & B have also been published.

Your token's value in the book, Campbell's Tokens of Utah, by Harry F. Campbell, no relation to Bob Campbell, ranges from $5.50 - $18.00 depending
on which token variant you have.

I have no information about dates of circulation, but could get it, if you'd be willing to wait a week or two.

If you'd like the dates of circulation, please send me a P.M.

I hope this helps.

Respectfully,

The Nutty Teacher
