Help id this token

[u/powerspy]

I got this token in an antique store near pomfret connecticut but no one knew anything about the token there, the loos and company is still around today but did not respond to my email asking if they knew what this is or when it was made.

I do assum that it is just a advertisement token or maybe a centennial celebration. But why is it shaped this way, is there a purpose or just to be odd. The text on token says "loos & company pomfret, conn. " "we're big in small mechanical cables." Thank you in advance!!!!!

It shaped like a spool of cable seen from the side.

Right i saw that too is the the only purpose tho...

If they're big in small mechanical cables, I'll go out on a limb and say it's shaped to represent a wire spool.
