Queen City Bakery...

[Pudsbrat]

went out the other day and found a aluminum token that says Queen City Bakery/ good for 10c on loaf of bread.....dont know where it could be from or what it is worth.....the only place I can think of is Queen City Texas but dont know if they had a bakery there and when it was going.....I live in Mena Arkansas and know it must be fairly close to me....thanks for any info you guys might have .......

There is a maverick Queen City Bakery token attributed to Dallas, TX, but it is good for one loaf. There are non-mavericks from that same bakery for 5¢ and 10¢ loafs. Can you post pictures?

Dont have a way to post picture.....I will try to post pics if I can ....thanks for the info.......do you have pics of tokens you are talking about?...thanks again.....

No pic, just a description from tokencatalog.com. Note that it is 26mm across the widest point, 10 scallops, and aluminum. This particular one was probably attributed to Dallas because other tokens are known from the business that have town and state on them, so I wouldn't bet the farm on that attribution being good. If yours doesn't match the description exactly, then all bets are off:
Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.

Gosh, I thought everyone knew that Cincinnati is often referred to as the Queen City. The 1912 Bradstreet lists 59 businesses that have Queen City in their name including a Queen City Bakery.

Yabbut... Cincy isn't the only one. There are towns with the official name of Queen City in MO & TX, plus there is a whole list of towns with Queen City as a nickname: Allentown, PA, Bangor, ME, Beach Haven, NJ, Buffalo, NY, Burlington, VT, Charlotte, NC, Clarksville, TN, Cumberland, MD, Del Rio, TX, Denver, CO, Dickinson, ND, Helena, MT, Manchester, NH, Marquette, MI, Meridian, MS, Moore, OK, Plainfield, NJ, Poughkeepsie, NY, Seattle, WA, Sioux Falls, SD, Springfield, MO, Staunton, VA, Titusville, PA, Tuscaloosa, AL, & Virginia, MN (per the ever-useful but often inaccurate WikiPedia). Besides, the bakery might have been named by a guy who was from one of the Queen Cities and wanted a reminder of home.
