any value?

Nice token! Interestingly the one that Don pointed out on tokencatalog.com is worn in an odd manner so that the "IN TRADE" is almost invisible. Yours shows it as plain as when it was made - would you be willing to post your pics on the site so that all will know what it says? In 1918, during WWI, John Edward Conners registered for the draft. He stated that he was self-employed running a hotel and pool hall. Bowker & Lee's WY Trade Tokens book shows four varieties - 2 5¢, this 10¢, and a 25¢ - and rates them all as rarity 3, "51-100 known". It also states that "J. E. Conners has been found as proprietor of the "Smoke House" from 1918 until 1921."
