$1.00 TRADE TOKEN!!! and sterling St. Christopher charm

[oddcoins]

Hello everyone!

Got out tonight for a couple hours down near the University of Oregon ~ my wife sat out in the big lawn area and read a book while I metal detected. Really didn't find a lot ~ this is an area that I've pounded several time over the last few years. But today I decided to scan a steep slope that I had not done much in the past. I dug a huge trade token there! My first GOOD FOR $1.00 IN TRADE token ~ the front reads, O.P. MATSON LUMBER CO., McGLYNN OREGON. And, I also found a St. Christopher charm with an image of a Golfer! WEIRD!!

The token is from a very small town that I don't think is even around anymore. The post office of McGlynn Oregon was only around from 1923 to 1938. This token is listed on Richard Greever's token database http://tokencatalog.com but there wasn't an image ~ so I added images of this token to his webpage!

The Saint Christopher charm is 6.1 grams of sterling silver.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

We did a great job of cleaning out that area of silver coins and wheat pennies ~ but there's alway something cool to find!

Great finds... Not often you get to add the images of a token known and listed, but not seen.
