About this token:
- Bill writes: This is listed in TAMS Vol 18 #5 Part 2 as an association piece
(page 45) under Nelson Enterprises. Nelson was a major supplier of horoscopes
and good luck charms for fortune tellers, mind readers, future predicters,
etc. He also had his own radio show under his name - Robert Nelson, and a
stage name Dr. Korda RaMayne. Nelson Enterprises was based in Columbus, Ohio.
Nelson died in 1973.
- I did a little web searching about "Nelson Enterprises" and found
the following pages. Nothing about the token, but some interesting information
about the company. Nelson Enterprises was formed in 1921, but I would guess
that the token was issued later, after the company had become large and successful,
which would date it to probably 1940-60s, which agrees with the overall look
of the token.
