Re: Civil War Tokens
Here's one on the lighter side:
NY-10F-1a (Albany, NY)
Straight's Elephantine Shoe Store
Great advertising piece made by the Scovill Manufacturing Company in Waterbury, CT. This company adapted armory mass production techniques to common household items such as buttons, tokens, mats, and medals. They were so good at it, they are still in business today!

Re: Civil War Tokens
Man I like the examples you have posted on this thread. Do you find most of these on the "Dark Bay", other auctions or from dealers at shows?mhonzell wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2017 11:40 pm Here's one on the lighter side:

This one is in really nice condition. Can't see any wear on the high points (top of the pachyderms boots, 398 or his ear. And the color is pleasing with minimal spots.

Re: Civil War Tokens
Next to my avatar of Lindenmeuller, I think this one is my next favorite. The PA765J-1a depicts a man of the times enjoying his vice of smoking a pipe. Another great advertising piece and offering the 20 percent discount if you use real US coins to make a purchase... Of course, you'll get tokens for change.
