MY FIRST TOKEN

[jog]

Have this posted on today's finds and was told I should also post it here. Found this at an old house that I've just started hunting at. Someone else had been there ahead of me, dug this less than a foot from another old plug.Thanks for looking!

Frank A. LaFlamboy was shown in the 1910 Census as a traveling salesman - hardware. When he registered for the draft in WWI he said he was a proprietor of a confectionery. He was shown as that in the 1920 Census. He was born in Detroit, MI in 1883 and died there in 1966. I suspect his stint as a liquor dealer was pretty short-lived - I don't recall when Oregon started Prohibition, but I think it was relatively early. You might consider posting the photo at www.tokencatalog.com - there is an entry for this token with the note, "image wanted".

Thanks for the response. If you go to the what is it site I found a cuff button from WW1. It was about 2' from where I dug the token.
Very interesting!! They could have come from the same guy?
Thanks for the info and thanks for looking!
