Brass "No Cash Value" Baseball token

JaMoSo82 · Oct 21, 2017

One of my kids somehow found a brass baseball token (I'd like to say I taught him well but I haven't yet ;-)) with a baseball player surrounded by small baseballs around the perimeter of the obverse, while the reverse contains the phrase "No Cash Value" and both sides having a tiny mark of what appears to be HH at the bottom of each side.

I was wondering if anyone knew when/where it might have come from. All the ones I can find on Google show just the baseball player with a plain perimeter and; ebay currently has no matching examples either.

Oldest coin- 1950 S wheat penny.

Thanks for the link! I knew the purpose, just not the maker.

Hoffman mint token....still being made today.

HH stands for Hoffman and Hoffman.
The company is in Ft. Lauderdale and started in 2008.

Most token companies put either entire names or tiny initials on their tokens over the years.

Ahh, looking closer it looks like WM not HH....just another modern token from another manufacturer.
