"America-Stay Out Of War" token?

Too bad the US Flag isn't a true representation as it it would help narrow the date down. I'm guessing it is pre-WWII which would put in the time range of the property.

Interesting find! Hopefully someone here will come up with an answer!

HAHA!!! I thought the same thing, only I was going to post it as a joke, saying it must be from about 1792 when kentucky became the 16th state!

Seriously though, I would guess a more modern era, maybe '60s viet nam or '90s iraq, and I lean towards the former when the "peace movement" was high profile.

Curious wording though..."keep out" as opposed to the peacenik's main mantra of "get out".

ADD:

Oz may be closer to the mark, especially in light of the wording. The only references I can find on the net to "keep out" of war are related to pre-entrant WWII.

Maybe swarthmore college could be a resource for you:

Tks for the replies guys!
Judging by the materials I've run into so far, I believe that Oz is on target as far as the era goes. It pretty much coincides with the coins we found plus it appears there was a Keep America Out of War Congress Chapter in Massachusetts as well so that's what I'm going with!
