I found a couple of tokens in the Field by my house I showed them to a friend who collects coins and he gave me Glen Farbers name. He is a specialist on tokens and has a book on Louisiana tokens. I tried to find his email address for you but I couldn't put my hands on it right know. I'll send it to you when I find it. The two that I found are Tala Bena Plt. tokens a .05 and a 1.00.

I can't help on the first two, only to say that the second one is a "St. Louis made part-incuse" token. I can't quite make out the maker's name on the reverse, but I'd guess it is Barnard.

The last one is listed in Crawford & Farber's LA Trade Tokens book as from Monroe, LA. They say that "Louis Fox and Armand Renaud operated this grocery l0ocated at South Grand at DeSiard from about 1907 until 1914."
