Merchant's Token

Here's a merchant's token I found last spring. I'm guessing it's from the late 1800's. It's a token for "CASSIMER WESSTING CLOTHES BOSTON / WM. H. MILTON & CO. MERCHANT TAILOR No. 6 FANUEIL HALL" and on the other side "FANUEIL HALL CLOTHES WAREHOUSE...." then some text that is pretty worn, but basically touting their wares.

Nice find... and quite a bit earlier than you think! It's listed as a Hard Times token, c. 1835-44. There are several varieties, all pretty similar; however, I can't see enough detail in the photos to be sure which one you've found.

Hi & Welcome from the UK. Glad you like it here, so do I.

Your never see PBK post any finds as he's always on the net, I wonder if he's real or a computer.
