Not an incredible token, but from near where I grew up.
Pelican Bakery Houma Louisiana - Good for 5¢ Loaf Bread
This bakery was in business during the 1910s.
Octagonal aluminum, 23mm TC-152258
; Crawford-Farber 4256-P/1-5
This bakery was in business during the 1910s. 5¢ was a lot of money to the poor people of south Louisiana back then.

Thank you, Spence! I've gotten interested in the store cards / tokens of Louisiana. I'm rediscovering so much local history.
