Very generic maverick token ~ $20.00 !!

[oddcoins]

Hello,

I dug this very generic maverick token yesterday in Coburg Oregon, where the old Booth-Kelly Mill site was. It is 34 millimeters in diameter. It reads "$20.00" on the front, and "IN TRADE" on the back.

Tidbit of Coburg history and the Booth-Kelly mill:
1898 Booth-Kelly leases a small mill in the center of town, previously owned by J.C. Goodale1900 Booth-Kelly buys the mill: increases mill from one to five stacker, employs 300 men working round the clock. 4 trains come into Coburg each day...3 to take finished lumber to other markets, one passenger train...it was called the skunk because it was a steam locomotive...black train with white plume...looked like a skunk!...Rumor has it that the entire town turned out each day at 10:00 to see who came in on the Skunk!
