Need-Help-Identifying---Token-Marked-

Does anyone know what this token is?

It's marked "N. W." and has six circles inside a triangle (kinda looks like a slice of pepperoni pizza).

Approximate 23 or 24 mm diameter.

Other side is blank.

My searches came up empty, so any help is appreciated!

More than likely from the apparent age of it I would say it is a change token form a local pool or billiard hall rack with balls inside. Check and see if there is a local one that either was Northwest pool hall or some variation of the name. Local library and old biz directories from the turn of the century1900's could be a start.

My first thought was a billiard token as well. Origin?

to the CCF!

I've not before seen the like of this token. Offhand, I'd guess that this apparent maverick will not likely be attributed. Richard's Token Database is the best place to search.

Good luck!!

Hmmm...I personally like the idea of it being from a poolhall.

Thanks for the input and resources, everybody.
