dollar size trade token copper

[scrounger d detector collector]

ground is frozen at home. but downstate

remain diggable even tho now very cold

and windy on the backside of the big storm.

was hunting in a rippin 20 mph SUS wind w gusts

to 52. n about 22 degrees. could only stay

out for an hour in this.


nevertheless got 2 keepers. very 1st signal 37 wheat.

near frozen end of hunt gotta 14-58 . my highest

conductivity reading ever. imagine my excitement

to pull a giant greenie. no not a lc. silver dollar

size copper trade token. brewery item. no photos

yet its gonna need some special cleaning before a camera

could see the writing and no camera here anyway

add pics later.

i would like id and value help from any breweriana or

token collectors who know what this is.

just slightly smaller than silver dollar. obv reads

"WILL BE ACCEPTED AS 25 CENTS ON PURCHASE PRICE OF CAN

BLATZ MALT SYRUP" dime sized pic of can with blatz malt syrup written in tiny letters.

rev sez " to dealers this tokenwill be redeemed

by us providing conditions on reverse have been complied with

VAL BLATZ BREWING CO MILWAUKEE USA.

VERY COOL to me. i have not found very

many good for tokens so to me is better

than a silver dime.

ground was nice and soft from the precip ahead of the storm

overnight low here 16. tom hi 28. hopefully

the ground has enuf held heat that it can stand 18

hours or so of intense cold w/o freeze up yet

and even if it does i squeezed this hunt in.

i bet not many other hunters were out anywhere

in illinois today. modern clad 16 c.

very cool . "Blatz" is the only malt syrup I use. . . What is malt syrup again?

right, im not sure if malt syrup is

for pancakes or if its a ingredient for homebrew

also i had heard that a number of alcohol

containing products suddenly became labeled

as medicines and other things when

prohibition became law. any thoughts

Some history:
The Blatz brewing interests were incorporated as the Val Blatz Brewing Company in 1889. '"Val" stood for Valentin Blatz who married the widow of the owner of the City Brewery of Milwaukee--and then changed its name. In January of 1931, the Val Blatz Brewing Company changes its name to the Blatz Brewing Company. So that gives you a general date range of your token.
