[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 7511962, member: 74863"]James H. Hirsch & Co. Chicago, a nice older bronze token advertising their uniform clothing business. Address is on the coin. The reverse is unique in the sense this token is older than it looks. Yes, that is a swastika but it’s pointing left, not to the right as in WWII. This was a GOOD LUCK piece so inside the open areas of the swastika are a Clover, a Horseshoe, a Wish Bone and Runes. You may want to look them up. This is a membership coin of the don’t worry club. (Says so around the swastika) and it was minted by the Meyer & Wenthe manufacturer’s of Chicago. It was made in 1910 and has a Numista rarity index rating of 97. This index is based on 0 to 100, with zero being common and the higher the number the more rate it is. So a 97 is very rare. It’s in great shape for a token that’s 111 years old.
