Ingersol milk token.

[Brian C.]

Here is a rare token that I found a couple of years back. It is from the trout creek dairy from Ingersol Ont. Canada. The dairy was last in use in 1933 or so, this is the only token that I have seen or heard about, none of the local collectors of milk bottles have never seen a bottle or heard of the dairy, I would like to find a bottle. I did run an add in the local news paper, I did get a call from the grandson of the origanal owner. He told me that the dairy was started in 1895, then his father took it over, but he died when his son was 3 years old, the grandson never knew the name of the dairy. You never know what you might find with the next swing of the coil. Brian C.

May I suggest you contact the Oxford County Library for the name of the county's historian and ask him.

Also, have you seen this:

You might also try finding an Index to the Oxford Tribune and Canada Dairy Reporter.

BTW, my kin came from Embro.

Thanks for the great info on the token, the picture does not do it justice. I was offered $20.00 for it from a token collector, I would think it is more in the range of $100.00 or more, but I like the token. HH
