It's a Marten van Buren "The Young Magician Token". I've found mentions of it on the internet, but I can't find an approximate age. I did find this: This token was made by the Scovill Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut during the early 20th century. The Scovill Company was established in 1802 as a button manufacturer and is still in business today. Scovill was an early industrial American innovator, adapting armory manufacturing processes to mass-produce a variety of consumer goods. Obverse: Bust of Martin Van Buren facing right. Legend: 8TH PRESIDENT, U.S.A./ 1837-1841/ MARTEN VAN BUREN. Reverse: “KING MARTIN THE FIRST"/” THE LITTLE MAGICIAN"/ U.S. SENATOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK MINISTER TO ENGLAND SECRETARY OF STATE VICE PRESIDENT REVOLUTIONIZED THE BANKING BUSINESS THE RED FOX IN POLITICS.
Whoops, I guess I missed that part. Looks like it was made in the early 1900s. Are they worth anything?
