Norton Steenfott (1914-1985) był entuzjastą historii Eureki, kolekcjonerem zabytków i przewodnikiem turystycznym. Ten żeton jest prawdopodobnie pamiątką, ponieważ nie ma wartości "dobrej dla" ani "w handlu". Ponadto pan Steenfott był nastolatkiem w 1928 roku i w tym czasie sklep nie znajdowałby się w "Olde Towne" (sic) Eureka, tylko w Eureka.

Doskonały opis pana Steenfott i jego zainteresowań można znaleźć w tym poście na forum.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Norton Steenfott (1914-1985) was a Eureka history enthusiast, relic collector, and tour guide. This token is likely a souvenir piece as it has no "good for" or "in trade" value. Additionally, Mr. Steenfott would have been a teenager in 1928 and at that time, the shop wouldn't have been in "Olde Towne" (sic) Eureka, just Eureka.

An excellent description of Mr. Steenfott and his interests can be found in this forum post.
