I have a E.L.Lowery Saw Mill token from Merryville, LA. I cannot find any information on this. Would anybody out there know anything on this item?
your 5¢ is unlisted - only the 10 ¢ is listed in trantow's lumber catalog. it is listed R-10.
there are a few words written about the company in the catalog.
"ernest lowery is listed for: a gen'l store in Merryville and hackberry (20 miles SSW of lake Charles) from 1934-44; a sawmill, selling building materials and hardware in the late 1940's and a sawmill and commissary in the 1950's."
your's in great condition, would be highly sought after by collectors.

I did find this catalog on the Internet. I saw it was selling for around 75 dollars. I noticed you said it was rare with an R10 rating. I have been to a few websites and have gotten mixed rating reviews. I read one website said R10 rating was only one in existence. Another one said R10 was mass produced. I am not up too speed with the tokens....lol.
