I was stationed at Loring from 1976 - 1979. I lived in Limestone, a small city right outside of Loring Air Force Base. I have NOOO idea when they changed the name to Loring from Limestone. And N.C.O means Non Commissioned Officer, mess means mess hall. I am guessing this token is from around WW2 or before.
If your interested in selling it, let me know please. LOL lots of memories there.

Limestone Army Air Field (AAF) was the Division's largest project. Limestone AAF was redesignated as Limestone AFB when the Air Force was established as an independent agency in September 1947. In 1954, the base was renamed Loring AFB in honor of Charles J. Loring, Jr., a Portland, Maine, native, who died during the Korean War as a result of deliberately diving his damaged aircraft into an enemy artillery installation and destroying it.
So your token is from 1947 - 1954.
I took this from the History of Loring AFB, If you google it you can find it.
