Cy--help us out a bit. Can you transcribe all the wording on the token? There is a name on one side that looks like ?. R. ROBERTS. What is the wording on the bottom of that side? The Sight Draft brand of cigar appears to be from Minneapolis - St. Paul.

It is hard to read. R. R. Roberts. Has a 100 in the center. I can't read some of the bottom but I can see "AKSON". Just can't read the letters ahead of that.

Ah! Okay - I believe it is from Reese R. Roberts' cigar store in St. Paul, MN which was located at 5th & Jackson streets ca. 1912-17. I think you can see 5th at the lower left of the 1. This business continued under other names into the 1950s. And, as I think I said in the other spot where you posted this, the Sight Draft brand of cigar was a Twin Cities brand. I'll see what the MN cataloger has to say and report back.
