[SUP]I found a trade token in a 1900-1920 Cedar Shingle Mill
The token is aluminum “good for ten cents in trade”
The town is Hoquiam, Wash and the buisness was “The Elk” Bar? The two drilled holes are making it difficult to confirm. I can find nothing in regards to the buisness and I haven’t seen another token like it. Thank you for any help![/SUP] CF94D145-152D-4A12-9035-D2DC5C88E9BB.jpeg 0BEB4FE3-1920-47AC-BE35-E0DE327B892C.jpeg

I wish I knew the key words that would give me a break, It’s the dig after the dig

Erickson's WA Tokens book and tokencatalog have two other denominations of the Elk Bar in Hoquiam. Please post yours on tokencatalog.

Wow! It was there all along...I listed the 10 cent token and have started to figure out how to properly post a token. I have a question about the Certainty of attribution rating that is a 1...is this a poor rating? If so, what can I do to improve this rating in the future. Also is there a rarity rating? Thanks Idaho, you have been a tremendous help

Personally, I leave the CA field blank and let the cataloger for the state decide.
