<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 4559812, member: 2100"]I could be out in left field somewhere, but I have a different opinion. The first thing that struck me was that the token does not have a 1970's look to it, but more of a look from an earlier era. First, I looked in my Indiana token reference, but this token was not listed, perhaps because it is not a "Good For" something. In researching the Benham-Pray Co. while trying to find their years of operation, it appears that the company is no longer in business, at least not in Indianapolis, and I could not find much of their history. </p><p><br /></p><p>With the phrase "Quality Workmanship", that would indicate to me that Keller was making something, and would seem odd to me if it was in reference to a law firm. "Quality Service" or something similar would seem like a better choice of words in reference to a legal firm where word choice is of great importance.</p><p><br /></p><p>In looking closer at the token, I realized that the "7"s in the date look very similar to the "1" in the date.
