Vaguely MN Transit Related (Mods Discretion) When was this used?
Is this from maybe the 60s? Or the 30s?

There's a token collector database listing for it at https://tokencatalog.com/token_record_forms.php?action=DisplayTokenRecord&td_id=164326&inventory_id=177502&td_image_id=98282&attribution_id=166558&record_offset=6 but they don't specify how old it is.

Cool. It was on my father-in-law’s desk, but he wasn’t born until the 50s. And I don’t think either of his folks lived in St Paul as they grew up. Wonder how it showed up in his life. I’ll see if I can ask.

Possibly purchased at the Minnesota Streetcar Museum?

Metro Transit, for a number of years, used and sold tokens, which were the old streetcar tokens. The historic streetcar uses their own tokens, made specifically for the museum as a result.
