A couple local civil war store cards for your viewing pleasure....

[Jim C.]

One from Parma and one from Jacktown. I like the little dudes face. These tokens are one of my favorite things to dig up. Both found at different old home sites...with permission of course. Here are the front and backs of both.

Wow! I've never found one of those. Actually, I've never really seen that type of thing before. It's now on my 2009 wish list! So those were used in place of money I take it?

Yep, during the civil war people were hoarding their money so the stores were making their own change and advertising while doing it. So many different kinds with neat stuff on em. I love em.
