Need to look into that one bigtony,,most things i find in this yard are around from mid 1800to present day
Cool trade token
Brunswick Balke Collender co. Chicago IL. in business from 1884 - 1914
Rarity of piece = R1 (more than 5000 known)
Page 574 in "The Standard Catalog of US Tokens" 1700 - 1900
Nice find. These were issued for pool halls. Brunswick made pool tables. Many of these tokens were personalized in the oval, like yours is. You can probably look up M.C. Carroll in old city directories for your area to see when the place was in business.
Ahhhh swinging the coil is so therapeutic. That's a very cool token! Congrats on a stellar find!
