Hi,
I was out hunting a yard with driftwood yesterday. He pulled a nice IH and few wheaties. And I got a new token. It dates to around 1900. It is an advertising/good luck token put out by a Company in St Louis that made coal fired cook stoves and heaters. On the back inside the horseshoe it says, "BE A USER OF THE COPPER-CLAD OR A LIFE MEMBER OF THE WISH-I-HAD"
Thanks for looking!

That is an awesome token! I've never seen one like it before. Fascinating how the swastika used to be just an innocuous good luck symbol.

Great find! :clapping:
 
I agree with Tony. I LOVE THAT TOKEN! Nice that you did some research and we can see how it fit into Americana. "Copperhead Crank Club" sounds like a cool motorcycle club to me! Excellent find my friend. Best wishes and HH, Dave.
 
Really interesting token. Like to find things like that and getting to research it to find out what it is. That's what keeps this hobby so interesting. Congrats. Safe & HH
 
Now that's a very unusual find. Congrats on this token. Think this will bring you a lot of luck.:thumbsup01:
