I haven't been able to find any information online about this token, so I'll leave a reference here for anyone else who may be looking.

Type: promotional token ( offer 4810 )
Material: wood
From: Fox 1 Hour Photo Labs
Location: southern USA
Date: before 1991

Fox Photo Labs was a chain of film processing shops across the southern US. The name was dropped in 1991 when they were bought out by a competitor.

Obverse:
Pre-1991-Fox-Photo-Labs---Free-Film---Wooden-Token-/-Coin
Reverse ( rotated at odd angle to obverse )

Seems like you have! A "wooden nickle" type promotional "coin" - we had those in bars all over this area for a free drink untill they found out plastic chips were even cheaper than wood

Because the printing happens on two stages, there is no specific orientation.
