1876 John Matthews, Soda Water Apparatus, New York, 28mm Diameter, Rulau NY-190 / Miller NY-525 / Wright 674, R-4, Ex: Steve Tanenbaum Collection.
A tough to find store card in high grade which was hard to resist as there's something very appealing about a woman with a fish in her face. This obverse design was used on a more common 1863 CWT with a 7 line script reverse. However finding the 1876 trade token which also features the wild reverse design of a cherub in such a hurry to beat the bear off the soda fountain with a monkey wrench that it looses his diaper has been challenging as all most are seen heavily circulated with signs of abuse. Matthews was the inventor of the soda fountain and the reverse features his company logo designed by Karl Muller.

Darn nice cent there coinbuff! Broardstruck your post and token are fantastic as usual. That Soda token has a very interesting reverse as it looks like the naked guy is going to hit the bear with the wrench for grabbing his naked play toy.
