Comment

Adolph Mallatt, was born in 1892 and passed away in 1975, he started his business in 1927 on State Street, Madison Wisconsin, in 1941 he moved to this location and I can only assume he was still there in the early 60's (the early information is from the Wisconsin Historical Society) there is nothing I can find as to when he would have retired, my guess is this token is from the 1960's
It should read the "United" States of America not the "Untied" States of America, on the reverse, spell check did not exist
