Notes |
Perhaps a collar or cuff stud. Research established 1837 and 1939 as the dates when S.D. Childs Company in Chicago started and stopped doing business, so these are the very outside dates. per article at http://onlinedigitalpublishing.com/article/TOKENS/1474984/170443/article.html: "Nearly all known schedule tokens from the teens and early 1920s were struck by Childs. The schedule sides bear a very distinctive design that resembles the stitching on a baseball, and they are signed CHILDS CHICAGO in small letters." This is the International Harvester Corporation logo. |
