Description

Rare Vintage 1908 Chicago Advertising BILLIKEN Lucky Coin Token Pocket Piece Good luck.
Merchandising wonder of the early 1900's, all manner of kitsch were produced to promote the good luck and happiness icon. There are a few Billiken coins floating around, but very few with actual advertising names engraved on the surface. Very rare, this is only one I’ve seen.
