This was an aluminium token I just bought on ebay. It is issued by what might have been the very first manufacturers of aluminium bicycles. Obverse: Lu-Mi-Num: Manufacturers of the Aluminum Bicycles. St. Louis Refrigerator and Wooden Gutter Co. It is in extraordinarily condition for its age (dated 1894, i.e. 114 years old); very bright with no imperfections. I am assuming that, as it is not of any great value ($15 - $40), there is no realistic possibility that it's a copy/forgery. Not worth it. Any other comments, suggestions, ideas?

Neat little medal, and I've never seen one before. Nice
