Message:: [QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 300246, member: 8012"]Hi, This has been in my collection since I've been a kid and I have NO idea what it is about. The date on the token is 1912 and it was in my "family attic stash".  I can safely tell you that no one in my family had any money to be travelling in 1912.  Of course, it could have been given to them later, etc.  BTW, family is located in Minnesota at that time. The token is a very, very dark brown.  So when I scanned it, I tried to lighten it and bring out the text.  Looks like crap, but I think it's readable. Just to help out - I'm getting: Copyright 1912 - R.V. McKenzie (I'm not sure of the R.V.)  And it's copyright and it's for playground use. I guess it's the obverse which is fascinating since it's a 3-D token - the runner or whatever sticks out from the token.  You know, I got this from my folks when I was a kid and I thought the NNPS was some kind of Russian designation. It's the only "3D" token I have.[/QUOTE]
