I am looking for information about this token which I bought from the Johnson Smith Company sometime in the 1960's.
Transylvanian Mortuary Token
Steel, chrome plated, 28 mm, 8.28 gm
Obverse: Egyptian symbols, Pharaoh, cats, snakes, owl
Reverse: TRANSYLVANIAN MORTUARY / GOOD FOR $50.00 IN TRADE / EAST WHASKO, ILLINOIS
I read once that these items were manufactured by a Rockford, Illinois watch dealer.

I assume the Mortuary version was for those people without the 'Good Luck' version. Cheers, RickO
They had some neat stuff; definitely kid friendly.
