Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 7:23 pm Being that Sheridan Road seems to have been considered sufficient to fix this establishment's location, I'm thinking the reference is to the well known artery running from Chicago all the way to Racine. I'm also thinking that the "4104" is a date code (April,1941). 18.5mm on a side, probably zinc in composition. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 7:47 pm Very cool token, reminds me of the older communion tokens. Report this Post to the Staff
CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 7:56 pm I have seen similar on a massive online Token catalog that I am unsure if I can link on here. They would probably be interested in the photos of your Token to document it. All the ones I have seen are round and made of white metal or brass. But seems like its for 4104 Sheridan Rd. in Chicago where the Press Inn was once located. Edited by CGCoins 10/12/2015 7:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That makes perfect sense as opposed to my overthinking it. 4104 N. Sheridan Road in Chicago is presently the Little Kitchen restaurant (previously Hong Kong Chef and Qiang Xiu Restaurant). Here's another ($1 and thus ostensibly later) Press Inn token on ebay that muddies the waters a bit, as the address is 4110 Sheridan Road: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Token-GF-...381002884408 Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 10/12/2015 9:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 8:05 pm From your photo, it appears to be Zinc. At-least I've seen similar Zinc uncirculated coins patina the same way. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 8:26 pm Here's one on the token catalog. http://tokencatalog.com/token_recor...reate_uid=60 I couldn't find one like yours so they might like a pic. Report this Post to the Staff
