    Description

    This token has an interesting history based on a radio show that was broadcast from the Grand Ole Opry in 1936.  The 15 minute program featured the lead role of "Stusia Pennypacker".  A magazine article of the time called the program
    "A hilarious farce in serial form, modestly described as a fantastic fable of fickle fortune and the craziest year ever spun out of thin air
    ."  I don't think it's too much of a wild guess to say that
    Alka Seltzer
    was probably one of the sponsors of the show.  Condition on this token is excellent.   Buyer to pay .50 shipping.  Please email questions before bidding.  Thanks.
