🥇 BANNER W.W. Wilbur Auctioneer Slave Token

[Carolina Relic Hunter]

What an epic hunt Saturday. We spent a good six hours hunting and this was the most epic unsuspected find. I knew I had a token in the field, but had no idea how rare it would be until I got home and started doing some research.

99 or less known to exist!! Amazing!!

Yes, I’ve come across many of these regarding WW Wilbur. Seams like quite a character of a business man back in the day.

Very cool piece!
Those old business tokens are some of my most favourite finds...and it's so amazing to find one of the rarer ones too !
Well done, be proud of that one!

Congrats man, very happy for you

This Shocked me :

people had to Buy their Seating ?

no Festival Seating

I would have Thought Churches were First Come, First Serve.
when it came to seating.

If you ever visit some of the old churches some of the pews had name plates on them for each family. Had to have money to get the front seats.
