South Bend Collectors Fish & Feel Fit token similar toke

Post by drexelantiques »

I bought the token below on eBay. Has the same fish on it, but with a different lure (appears to be an Al Foss Shimmy Wiggler type lure), and slogan.

"Always have this charm with you when fishing." on the front, along with a bass. Same bass appears on the South Bend "Fish and Feel Fit" tokens, but with a different lure and slogan. On the back : "The owner of this good luck fishing charm has qualified as a member of the Master Fishers' Club of Ludington, Michigan". 1 3/8 inches.

I thought South Bend Collectors would like to see this. I think the same company made both the South Bend token, and this token. The question becomes which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Thanks for posting the coin. I've identified 4 versions of the SB token but never knew about the other one. I'll be looking for one to do some comparisons. I appreciate the pics Jim
