Well.... Its not possible for me to treasure hunt :sadsmiley: So I have resorted to going through a few boxes in the garage and was happy I did. I found (refound) a token I got at an auction last summer. I bought a tub full of bolts,screws and nails and happened to find this in there. I never looked at it too closely until now. Well I attempted to do some research on it and found plenty of info and pictures of these tokens. But, I could not for the life of me find this exact one. I found some very similar to the design, but round, and I found some this shape but different pool table design. Anyways, I will look some more and maybe clean 'er up some. I also seen some people have dug some of these on tnet but not this exact one either. If anyone else has any input be my guest!

A little more info: I bought it at an auction on the south side of Pelican Lake in St. Louis County. The nearest town is Orr, MN. I will keep looking myself but if anyone else has some info that would be great. I know about the company history and all that already, I wish it was a full buisness name, initials are so hard to go off.. and who knows if that is where it is originally from... Thanks for looking!

On TokenCatalog.com this one is TC-337611 with "Image Wanted" - please consider posting your pics there. The date of the diework is 1883-84, so that narrows the search range a bit. And you are corrct, initials only make it tough!

Thank you, I must have missed it. I will be sure to do that! :thumbsup:

Thank you again for the help. Feels good to be able to contribute to a great website like that one. :occasion14:
 

Not quite. TC-337611 is the correct initials but with a BB- reverse. This is a BBC-9a. Date of issue is around 1890.
 

By the way it was actually a completely new listing as he let me know today. It is now TC-383718
