Re: "Rollin' on a River"

I'm not coming up with much but I feel it has to be a token of some kind. Just don't see what else it could be.

Good stuff!

The Hudson Lumber Co. token might be an unlisted variety from either the N. L. Hudson Lumber Co. in Cedar Grove, LA, c. 1920's-30's; the Hudson River Lumber Co. in DeRidder, LA, c. 1899; or P. O. Hudson & Bros., a lumber company operating in Kingston and Harold, MD in the 1920's-30's.

Don't worry, Pete, your skills aren't going to suffer after the short hiatus. You always will be a Colonial-digging machine.

Re: "Rollin' on a River"

I might be dreamin it, but is there a 1 next to the 2, making it 12 1/2? That amount is seen on many tokens. 2 bits being a quarter (.25) and 12 1/2 being 1 bit.

Thanks there vwayne1,Yes looking tokens up I see that there is 12 1/2 on alot of them or I should say mentioned about alot. But I'm purdy sure that this one is only 2 1/2 as there is not enough room in my opinion for a 1 to be in front of the two.Cause of the letter L in lumber being so close.I see no 1 as hard as I look.Here is another shot more straight forward on the token.

Thanks intimer,Boy I was hoping you had some news on this deal. Glad for the comment though! Yea I can't find nothing either I seen alot of different types online but not this one and not many with 2 1/2 on them.I'll just have to settle with putting it in the cabinet and leave it at that. If I would have to make a guess though I'd say mid to late 1800's to maybe early 1900's big time frame but thats the best I could do with what I know.And where it was found.
Thanks Again,
Timekiller!

Re: "Rollin' on a River"

I've gotten a PM or two on this token,
The size is 22mm from flat side to flat side.
It is 24mm point to point.
The metal content I'm not to sure.
As for anything else wrote on it I don't believe there ever was purdy much as is on looks.
Thanks,
Timekiller!

Re: "Rollin' on a River"

Timekiller, I think the companies PBK mentioned are great leads. You might want to research one more possibility though which could date your relic back a little farther, as the style suggests it might be from before the 20's.

The Tarriff hearings before the 16th Congress 1908-1909 make mention in their index of the "Hudson Lumber Company" which manafactured lead pencils (and still might?) I believe it is location in North Carolina, the state where I assume you found this token? Possibly this is a counter or token of some sort from that company which is unlisted also?
