This may have been a prototype for what was to become New London, Connecticut Gay 90's token Rulau #Nln 5 JOHN A. MEADE of which only two are known.

Rulau #Nln 5 measures 25mm and has two sides

This token measures 26.2mm, weighs 4.75 grams and has only one side which reads

JOHN A. MEADE above 5C in the center and IN TRADE below

I have had this piece for decades and have never been able to find anything out about this token.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Best regards
