On one side it has the v8 logo and says ford a century of progress chicago and on the other says ford exposition 1934. It is the size of a silver dollar but I would not think that is a v8 logo that long ago. Last edited by coheley5; Thu Jul 19 2012 08:02 PM.

It was given away at the Chicago World's Fair which was in Chicago in 1933 and 34. I think the Ford V8 was publicly available in 1932 so this was one way of promoting the new engine, at the World's Fair, which in those days was a big deal.

I have a few different tokens, but mine are from different Company's, other World's Fairs and other venues... I see Darin, was able to give the info while I was away from the screen...
