I think it's funny that it is only good for a half portion. A whole portion would be10 cents I suppose? Perhaps an alcoholic drink. 5 cents was a lot of money for a half a drink. Looks scarce, haven't found another. Looks to be from the first half of the 1900's, probably 1930's is my guess. But I don't know.  added thoughtsPerhaps not alcoholic too. Maybe a free token given out to get someone to go to the Honey Dew stand or shop. If you got there, maybe you would buy something else from the shop or vendor? Edited by TNG

Seems to be a reference to a non-alcoholic beverage from Toronto, Canada. Made from fruit juice and honey. https://hdew.com/our-story/The token would seem to be from the 1920s - 1930s.

I think Sap found it and you might want to email them with a picture. The contact page is here. https://hdew.com/contact-us/I'm sure they would answer you. Looks like a friendly company. Be sure to let us know what they say. |

Thank you all very much, I emailed them and this was the answer, really a friendly company. " Hello, Thank you for your email and forwarding the very neat pictures of the Honeydew tokens/coins. These are likely from the older Toronto CNE days, however we will look into it a little further! Honeydew is now available at Walmart and Giant Tiger !! Thank you again for sending!" |
