Dug this one this weekend.
I believe this is a Good for 10 cents in merchandise Commissary Token from McRae Lumber Manufacturing Co. in Quincy, Florida.
It measure 29.5mmx21.3mm
I couldn't find any info on the token. Other than McRaes website that claims they are still in business and have been for over 90 years.
Has anyone ever seen this token? Any info, such as date, etc?
Thanks for looking.

Trantow does list a simular "oval" brass 5 & 10 that reads - W.D. McRae Lumber Co./ Commissary/Halsell, ALA.
Size is 30x22mm for the dime & has the same reverse detail as urs. Very well could me related.

Cliffside 110 History |

from a link after typing in McRae lumber Quincy, Florida - I got this

According to the website Remembering Cliffside, Cliffside 110 was a 2-6-2 engine built by Vulcan in 1927, and originally used to haul lumber, first for the McRae Lumber and Manufacturing Company in Quincy, Florida, then later for the Beechwood Band Mill in Cordele, Georgia. The engine was purchased by the Cliffside Railroad in 1933,

to me me the token is 1910-20
