Been searching for this Moxie Bottle Wagon Token for quite awhile.. Nothing fancy or expensive, but it sure was tough to locate.. Thanks to @dpvilla for helping me locate it. Looks much better in hand:
Also, I'm still looking if anyone has any more to offer!

Very nice! Always a good feeling to scratch one of the “want” list.
Very nice! Great pickup.
I love the old business tokens. Snapshot to what commerce was like a century and a half ago.
Congrats! Glad you were able to scratch that one off the list
@Coinstartled Awesome pic, thanks for sharing that!
Neat token... .I have not seen that one before.... The soft drink is still made and sold... particularly in Maine. Cheers, RickO
That's a great photo. Reminds me of museums I've been to with old trucks like this and watching movies like the Gangs of New York.
Amazing that cars and trucks have changed so much but coins and clothes not so much.
Score, I like it, congratulations !!!
Nice!

Picked this one up a few weeks ago:
A little better shape
Do you happen to know what time frame this token was struck?

I don't... There is tons of information about Moxie dating way back. But as near as I can see from a Google search, it looks like right around 1900... I see that you are a token collector, if you can find more info i would love to learn it.

I think you're right in the ballpark. Mass production of aluminum didnt happen until the mid 1890s. It used to me more expensive than gold!
Stylistically, it shares characteristics consistent with other tokens from the very late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Here is an aluminum token from the election of 1900:
Congrats again on adding to your collection.
