Herbert Jones Men's Furnishings Berkeley California Coin |
An advertising token featuring the "Don't Worry Club"
| Prev | Back | Next |
The Herbert Jones Men's Furnishings was a Berkeley men's clothes store or "haberdashery."
It had one or two locations in Berkeley near the University of California.
It was in business from 1904 to 1927.
This token dates from 1908 to 1909 as those were the only years that Herbert Jones was
at the two addresses on the token.
The "Don't Worry Club" was a generic design used on advertising tokens from the 1900's to the 1930's.
They employed a large left or right facing swastika and other "good luck" symbols.
The direction of the arms of the swastika is meaningless for these items.
