      Your token may be alot older than the 1950s. Apparently, Hopkins Amusement Company landed in heap of legal hot water around 1903:

      If this is the same company, the last time it was registered was in 1910:

      I believe what I have is a Hopkins Amusement Co. 50cent trade token with A.B. Munson manager stamped on the back of it.
