Yea I can't find anything on that specific token. It's a Mills Novelty Co Chicago token. I have been able to find the same token that says San Francisco but not Chicago. If anybody has any info I would appreciate it

Nice finds - especially that Boy Scout ring. In regards to the token, I looked in up in the book" Video Arcade, Pinball, Slot Machine, And Other Amusement Tokens Of North America" by Alpert & Smith (1984). Here's what they had to say about the Mills Novelty Co.: The Mills Novelty Co., 4100-4118 Fullerton Ave. in Chicago, earlier at Jackson & Green St., advertised themselves as the "Largest Manufacturers in the World of Coin-Operated Machines". They were founded in June 1897 by Herbert Stephen Mills and manufactured all kinds of carnival, arcade and gambling machines. Their San Francisco office, 1901-1910 issued many tokens. Mills bought out Jennings in 1953 and Keeny circa 1963, and became Mills Bell-O-Matic in 1971. All three are divisions of TMJ Corp. , now Katy Industries. The book list several varieties of tokens: Good for 5c in Trade, etc. with values ranging from $1.00 to $3.00. Cool find!

Nice ring. Does that token have a date?

 

[grumpymedic]

No date on the token and I still haven't been able to find one for sale that is from Chicago..there is several on e-bay but they are all from San Francisco. Not sure if it would be worth more or less then those but a couple have sold for $7.50..not shabby for a token
