Mystery Find

[Macumazahn]

Found this aluminum token today and can find no information at all, I assume it is from the 1904 World's Fair

Nice find , anything on the other side?

Maybe look on Tokencatalog.com

 

[Macumazahn]

The other side is blank, been thru tokens of the world's fair and have researched the two names on newspaper.com no luck so far it comes from a public park that had a hotel at the turn of the century, it must have burnt because at 8 inches I find ashes mixed with burnt coins from 1916,it is always yielding interesting finds just a little at a time

Here's a link telling about Hicks in St Louis 1904 Worlds Fair, they had America's First Olympics there also.

Looks like it came from one of those machines that would stamp whatever text you want on the outside ring. Cool find .
