Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/01/2019 9:43 pm I agree Masonic--with the hand and eye design elements, it looks like Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) to me. I'm not sure of the meaning of the P4 counterstamp, but consider requesting to the mods to move this to the tokens section of CCF so that @exoguy sees it.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5240 Posts	Posted 01/02/2019 09:42 am Thanks, @alganbagerap. Another mystery solved. Not mystical at all. One source suggests that the P 4 stamps represent the owner of the arcade where it was used. Report this Post to the Staff
