H. A. Huney Comfrey, Minnesota Good for 50 cents in merchandise

[Roger Mn.]

Found this today at Oronoco,Mn. park.
What was H.A.Huney's ?
If idahotokens would like to post this please do.
I think it is close to 30 mm.

Also says in small letters ..Not transferable

Rodger--Henry A. Huney was listed in the 1900 Census for Comfrey as a Merchant. That probably meant he had a general store which typically used tokens like this. The not transferable bit was probably to discourage the exchange of tokens for goods and services to others in town. I have seen items in local papers about the barber willing to be paid in tokens from the store. He had to eat too.

I'll get this posted onto tokencatalog in a bit.

Thanks!

John
