Trade Token

Nice one - I'm guessing but maybe a token from some sort of game machine in a bar. But if it has no "cash or trade value" what was the point? Maybe something similar to a Chuckie Cheese token but older. It was good only for more plays of the game. I know there were some of these games in the old days which weren't supposed to be gambling devices, but the bar owner would pay out in cash "under the table".
It was a "Trade Economics" Token. The token was awarded for skill. It was given out in prisons or mental heath intuitions. If you did a good job you got tokens. The person would then exchange them for something. Only dates to the '50s from what I understand. Mike, the whatz-it forum worked, thanks, Joe
