Could be Cotton Mills on Top.

I'll see if I can Clear it up

 

[DizzyDigger]

Tried to improve the pics, but don't think it helped much.

How is Cotton Sold ?

Looks Like Good for 3 S?

Stogys ? SIDES ?



I'm Pretty Sure it's COTTON MILLS

But Can't rule out BUTTON MILLS

Or the name of a Town That ends in MILLS



& Looks like DEX08 or DBX08 ? on the Bottom So Far.

Also Could be a Pickers Token.

I think we are reading in backwards.
Could it be "BOX30"?
And I can almost see "SIDES"
On the other side. Maybe it is from a restaurant named Cotton Mill.
There was a Cotton Mill in South Boston,VA. Near by.

Not sure Why COTTON MILLS Would be Correct Yet BOX 30 Would be Backwords ?

But you May be Right

Backwards maybe the wrong description, upside down maybe more correct.

 

[jeff of pa]

aah ! okeedoke I see it now

I wonder now If the Bottom Word is Store.

Meaning Good for 3 Points at the Store

Maybe Company Store Points ?
Which would Be a Pickers Token.
Same as Miners Script

Maybe, here are some better photos. View attachment 1657909

 

[jeff of pa]

Does look like SIDES



unless that I Is a very Damaged O & It's good for 3 Sodas

 

[Icewing]

GOOD FOR
3
SIDES

 

[jeff of pa]

I Doubt it's 3 Sides of Beef.

If it is, Again, unless It was Like a Pickers Token.
Given to a Farmer Or Butcher,
When he Delivered 3 Sides of Beef to the Store or Butcher
as a Promissory Note

 

[devldog]

Nice find of the Token. Well Done.

 

[Icewing]

The bottom of the other side looks like it might say "BOX & OF" up side down

Your on to something,
Under the magnifying glass I can see the top end of a "K" two letters after the O, so "BOX&O_K". Still don't make sense to me.
