[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 8197898, member: 20201"][SIZE=6][B]1930's Take Me for Luck Bronze Good Luck Medal[/B][/SIZE] Probably just another one of those "Don't Worry Club" medals that were very popular pocket pieces from around 1907 until the end of the 1930's. [ATTACH=full]1436145[/ATTACH] This medal is struck with the same "Take Me For Luck" reverse die as HK-470 used in the Indian head so-called dollar. I bought it as a 1934 Century of Progress Chicago World's Fair medal but cannot be sure there is a connection. I have seen other medals sharing either of the both dies in this example advertising ice cream brands like Sealtest and Union, and even a Montana radio station, KGIR.
