Good day!
I found Nebraska state prison trade token, if anyone has any information on this token? How old it is? How interesting this can be for token collectors?

Just by the style of the lettering, I would guess pre-WWII

Write/e-mail/'phone Nebraska Corrections, and see if they can answer your question;
failing that, perhaps they can tell you when Warden FENTON was presiding.
... after some googling: "... William T. Fenton, ... was Warden of the Nebraska State Penitentiary [in 1926]"
see Lincoln Star newspaper, Lincoln Nebraska, March 12, 1926.

Thank you, Peter THOMAS, I did not even think about this moment, now I did more search on William T. Fenton Warden and found this nice book I will try to read (always liked that kind of stories) "Hell in Nebraska" by WALTER WILSON
published in 1913
in the last pages it is a little about the new warden W.T. Felton

The Nebraska Prison Token pictured is listed in "Prison Tokens and Medals of the United States" by Jerry Zara as NE27 with a value between $20 and $40.
