Congratulations on a cool find. How long ago was bread priced at a nickel? That has to be a long ways back. Welcome to the site.

Nice one. Love those old tokens.

The hole makes me think it was quite valuable to someone at some time. Whoever lost it may have gone breadless for a day or two.
I always try and imagine the person who lost the items I find...

Cowboy--pretty sure the name would be C. WHITCOMB and thanks for the hint as to where to start the search. Tokens traveled around, but it is always logical to start the search with where it was found. So far, I have found nothing on it. I'd recommend posting it on tokencatalog.com for more eyes to see. I could post your pics there with permission and diameter of the token.

John,
Interesting; I read the name as C.W. ' "X" atcomb".
I saw the dot after the letter 'W' and assumed that was an abbreviation of his middle name.
Hopefully, the token will be ID-ed.

Don--

I think the dot after the letter W isn't really a dot but is a blister in the aluminum. It is placed too low, compared to the period after C.

Just my thought

John

 

[cowboyup2715]

thanks the token is the size of a quarter held a quarter right on it and pretty much the exact same size i would love it if you could post it and get some info for me

You may wish to consider checking out or ordering through interbranch services (at the Reference Desk) the books referenced next from your local library: These are two very good books on the subject of Oklahoma Tokens Trades. Published in 1978 the "Catalog of Oklahoma Tokens by Lloyd C. Walker is a great token book. A new book on Oklahoma Tokens called "Oklahoma Exonumia" by R.W. Chadwick covers Oklahoma monetary substitution, including "Good For" tokens, Medallions, Coupons, Maverick & Fantasy tokens.
