Hi I think these might be a line of coffee / juice etc dispensers for restaurants and hotels. This company is said to have started in Buffalo, NY in 1926 and was in business for a while. I pulled a few newspaper articles and found a coffee maker that sold on Worthpoint that looks very similar to what it on the token. There was an "International Stewards" convention in Buffalo in 1927 and "Amcoin" had a presence there. There could be other such conventions though.   |

Brummagem, thank you so very much - once again you've worked your magic! May I credit you with these attributions on the tokencatalog listing?
Again, many thanks for locating obscure information - you're the best!

Really strong work on this @brum!  I was so hung up on the name of the company being AM-COIN that I didn't bother to look at AMCOIN. Here is a brochure for one of their coffee makers. My favorite line is "Yes, even the faucet is glass lined!"  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

One last thing from me. Looks like Leo Wertheimer had four patents issued in the US in the 1920s and 1930s. Here is that list:  2,175,332 Coffee urn 2,173,007 Beverage dispenser 1,690,763 Coffee leacher 1,677,221 Coffee urn "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Brummagem is absolutely fantastic - several times she's found obscure information to attribute tokens I've posted as well as assisting other members. I'm in awe of her abilities and resourcefulness, and profoundly grateful for her contributions. Brumm is truly a gem!

I "watched" the faucet listing and within minutes the seller sent me an offer of 50% off. You took the offer immediately, right? I mean, just look at that faucet!  |
