Well, I don't post the usual finds, like the 64 and 53 quarters along with wheats, but these are different.. I started digging the bouncing signals and when a 50 cent bouncing from mid iron to high, I found this 1915 motorcycle plate.. I thought, "What a bicycle license?" No, it was for a motor driven bicycle, now known as motorcycle... Very cool !! Little later found this token.. It was the first bread token I've found.. I have many bar and milk tokens, but this is a new one for me... Thought you would appreciate them...

WOW .... Great Find...would like to see the other bar tokens, if you don't mind....Thanks for the share......
 

Cosmic--The Edw. Buy token is apt to be from Danville, IL where Edward Buy is listed in the 1910 City Directory as having a grocery at 1310 E. Main. How about posting the pics of that token to TokenCatalog.com for the good of the hobby? Or, with your permission, I can do it.
