<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 835048, member: 2100&quot;]This token is classified as an amusement token. Without knowing the diameter or if there is anything (such as ornamentation) on the reverse in addition to the number, I can not make a definite identification. In any case though, the token does not have much value. It could fall into the amusement token Phrases category. These are amusement tokens without names or initials, but have phrases relating to amusement. These are broken down further into groups and individual ids. The tokens in this category matching your phrase and the 6 pointed star all had diameters of 21 mm. So, it yours has that diameter, it would fall into the Phrases category and my 1984 ref. values the possible varieties between 5 and 25 cents. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it is dime size, then it would fall into the trade stimulator category, and those varieties were valued mostly at 25 cents with a few going as high as 50 cents. The trade stimulators were payout tokens of small trade stimulator slot machines. These tokens share two characteristics: they are dime sized and they generally have a number on the reverse but no name of a machine, manufacturer, or operator. Mills, Caille, Schall, Schultze and others made these machines from the 1890s through the 1920s or 1930s. The tokens used in these machines were nearly all identical other than the varying denominations as payouts. The number on the reverse of most of these tokens likely matched the serial number of the machine. A machine would be delivered with tokens of varying denominations, but they would all have the same number on the reverse. Some of these numbers had a letter prefix, but the significance of that is unknown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
