Re: Arm & Hammer token

I found a pocket watch case at and old home site. It had the Arm & Hammer on it which was very clear. It was in quite bad shape. I e-mailed the Arm & Hammer Company to get more infomation on it. They were very kind in sending me a reply. They told me they used to give out promotional things with there products, but didn't keep any records as to give me a clue on the date.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting

I can tell you that it probably pre-dates 1896 since that is when John Dwight and his bro-in-law Dr. Austin Church formed the Co. known as Church & Dwight. Here's some more info. that explains it further-http://www.churchdwight.com/Company/corp_history.asp

I read that too. I just don't agree since the company was known as either Church & co. or John Dwight & Co's. "Cow Brand" before 1896, and everything after 1896 was known as Church & Dwights till this present day.
