Truly "Mint Condition"!
Truly "Mint Condition"!
Picked this up last week. Seller claimed it was used in the PAMCO - Pacific Amusement Co office to stamp stationary. But I found a token with the exact same matching layout so I'm certain it was used to mint the brass tokens in the 1930's. Just missing the rear die which had a ring of dots around the edge. Can't say I've ever seen anything like it before and figured it would make a very interesting paperweight. I have a rare pinball machine by PAMCO but sadly doesn't use tokens. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331324859736
