Can't seem to find the store this is from

Okay, so I have had this "coin" for quite some time. I have never been able to track down a store that it belongs to. Has anyone seen one like it or have any information?

A restaurant or cafe?

 

It has info in its face that Iam
Sure it’s traceable

 

Thanks for the information.

 

"having maintained boxes"?

 

Thanks for the information.

 

You’re welcome. To clarify, your piece isn’t a coin. I believe it’s a trade token. . . Maybe a trade token expert will chime in.

 

Someone actually paid 42.87 for one on eBay :

Never thought it would sell for that much. I'm trying to track down the years Sam chongs restaurant was in yakima. Another member sent a news cliping from 1909 about a law suite for having boxes in the restaurant.

 

I'm more interested in what the restaurant boxes were and why they were illegal.

 

"...the instigators of the box agitation."

Or who they were agitating.
