Token or toy???

northgadigger · Dec 30, 2017

Found this neat little piece this morning. Looks like alluminum but has a little weight to it. It looks like the words "Thoraos Bruce Rubyloy" on it. Makes no sense to me and google searches were uneventful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1800's home but was inhabited until late 1980's.

We had those at our fair. You could make your own message.

Can you read all of it ?

A good luck or ID token from a metal-Typer machine.
I have found many, the more you hunt the more you will find.
Popular at fairs, carnivals, amusement parks and more for decades.
If you can't find a machine you can make them online.

Bingo. Digger27 hit the token on the head. They were very popular from around the middle 1930's - the end of the 1970's. You can still buy the blanks and the machines. Google Standard Metal Typer.
