<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 76013, member: 2100&quot;]I don&#039;t know if you are the same person, but that exact same token was asked about on the ebay discussion boards very recently. </p><p><br /></p><p>This token is from the Aladdin&#039;s Castle arcade chain, based in Chicago, Illinois. It is id number IL 150 ZCD, but varieties exist. There are three other id numbers with the same design, a nickel plated brass version of the 21mm octagon shape (as is yours), and a 23mm round shape made in both brass and nickel plated brass. My reference, from 1984, show a value of .25, but I think that would be a generous value, even today. On ebay, this sort of token is typically sold by the pound, not by the piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a little background, this amusement chain was founded by Chicago businessman Jules Millman in the 1960&#039;s. He noted that coin games were mostly in undesirable places such as taverns, and decided to open a chain of family arcades in suburban shopping malls. Bally Mfg. Corp. now owns Aladdin&#039;s Castles, which had over 350 arcades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
