Token is 28mm and made from brass. I'm not certain when this was made but I believe it could be from the mid 1920's to 1930's. There is very little information to be found but what I have found makes me believe that there were early tokens (1920's - 1930's) and possible restrikes (1960's to 1970's). What few others I have found are different on the obverse. The font style is newer and the letters are thinner. On the others there is a single dot before and after the words "Blackface Index". On my token there are 3 dots with older and thicker style font letters. The Chicago Herald and Examiner was from 1918 - 1939 and then renamed Chicago Herald American up to 1953.... Any other info and history is appreciated.... Report this Post to the Staff

D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 07/06/2012 12:47 pm John1,thanks for the link. Nice to know this is from Cook County. The obverse on the one in the link is like the other two I have found which is completely different than the one I have. It would appear that there may be different varities of this token ?
