12 1/2 cent trade token from Ft. worth Stockyards

[jcobb]

My buddy Dig-N-Dumps got out for a rain hunt today.
He was already on board before I got to meet up with him. (Hopefully he'll post)
I ended up with a hand full of wheats and this trade token
12 1/2 Cents in trade, Headquarters Bar, 120 Exchange Ave. It could be pretty rare since I can't find anything about it online. Other than the building itself since 1910

Yep. and there are half-bit tokens as well: 6¼¢ The standard price for a shot of whiskey back in the time this token was in use was 12½¢ so this was used to make change for a quarter.
