Another local token for the collection BCCO Good for One Cup of Oysters 1887-1920.

[bonepicker]

Today I dug another first to add to the collection. Biloxi Canning Co. Good for One cup of Oysters.
Last year I started spending some time here and there trying to focus on local tokens.
Using the Sanborn maps, I have been able to locate where some of the old businesses and factories were located.
I have been hunting around these factories in areas where the workers would most likely have lived.
The strange thing about digging this one is that I was looking at Chatham's Mississippi book earlier today, and thought to myself how I would really like to dig this token. I was thinking how the design in the center kind of looked like a crab, and I was wondering if my book had it wrong. Well the book was right.
Anyhow I am pretty excited about this new addition, and just thought I would share.

Don't get me wrong, I love the early relics too, but its not every day that I can get on those early sites, so I have to mix it up a bit.
