Searched and old home site yesterday, built in 1840, dug this cool token or whatever it is. It says "Waterbury button co. pay check no 711" and on the other side "Pay weekly no advances no orders accepted". Just a guess but maybe during that time, each employee was given a token with their employee number, then they take it to the bank and get their actual pay for the week or month. Also dug 4 indian head cents and one buffallo nickel.
