Comment

Manufacturer: Osborne Register Company

The weight of this token varies greatly (2.90g to 3.45g), making it difficult to distinguish between AZ-S6 (made of brass) and AZ-S2 (made of copper) except by the color (brass is yellow, while copper is red or red/brown in color).

Strike Varieties (Reverse)
AZ-S6a - thick letters and rounded number 5
AZ-S6b - partially rounded, partially flat number 5
AZ-S6c - thin letters and flat number 5

The pictures below show AZ-6a and AZ-6c; AZ-6b will be between these two extremes.
