IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36844 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 4:05 pm I would start my search with the Keystone Development Co. and see if anything comes up about advertising gimmicks that they used. It is an advertising token so you could also try dealers in Exonumia (medals and tokens). It will take you some time to research something like this. Report this Post to the Staff

captainrich Pillar of the Community United States 982 Posts	Posted 09/28/2015 8:08 pm I know this topic is a few years old and Mr. Peck has likely moved on, but for the sake of future queries about this token, allow me to add that the piece in question was given the reference number of TOPEKA 940-A in John M. Coffee, Jr.'s "Land Company and Real Estate Tokens" catalog. The catalog value given is $10, but the catalog was published in 1991. It is the only Real Estate token attributed to the city of Topeka, KS. My 7070 My NGC Registry Sets: https://coins.www.collectors-societ...eopleID=9216 Report this Post to the Staff
