hi Wheat,
you did not say what metal the token is made from, nor what state you found it in? I will assume you found it in LA and it is brass? Based on that, I found no listing for the name in the LA token book, but I would estimate a date of use (based on brass and size, style) as between 1910 to 1940.

Brown is a very common name, so will be extremely difficult to identify this maverick without a lot of luck.

This is just one guess - where there are probably a number of other individuals that could fit. There is a James D. Brown listed as a proprietor of a "variety store" in 1915 and a "grocer" in 1916 at 1901 Touro in the New Orleans City Directories for those years.

Just throwing it out there in the possible event you found this token in the yard of 1901 Touro Street, New Orleans

What do you think the value, if anything, is?

I would say that is a really good possible ID bramble found for you....go with it. Value not a lot due to the fact the token does not have the town and state written on the token, and doesn't have any of the "magic words" like "saloon" on the token. maybe $5 or so. my guess anyway.
