1914 S. J. RUDD 10.00 trade token

[gearnoggin]

Haven't been out much since it's been such a dry summer. I finally decided to get out this morning and I'm glad I did. Found this neat S. J. RUDD 10.00 trade token metal detecting my brother front yard today. On the back it says patented 1914. If anyone has any info on this please let me know. Thanks for looking!

I believe the 1914 date references the Ingle System, not the date of the token. Ingle System made tokens for many different merchants. Excellent find!

Not your token, but probably the same merchant.

GN - nice Ingle token! As David suggests, this is the same merchant, Simon J. Rudd of Benton, KY, and his token order was shipped to him in 1915. The Ingle Company of Dayton, OH sold their "system" of bookkeeping to mostly grocery and general stores. It was optional which denominations the merchant ordered, but Rudd's tokens are only currently known in 1¢, 25¢ and $10 denominations. The Ingle Company had an earlier series of designs with a 1909 patent date on them - the ones like yours are 1914 onwards. I'd encourage you to post your pics to TokenCatalog.com
