Couldn't find Wm. Sorgett listed as a saloon. There is a listing for Sorgatt & Mielke as a hotel in Hawks in 1905, and Wm. Sorget is listed in Hawks in 1907 & 1911 as lumber. Your token is very likely the same man. This is the first trade token known from Hawks.

That is great information! !! Thank you

Think that age range would fit with the token? My token knowledge is fairly shallow.

Im in shallow water here, too. There is what appears to be a son with the same name. I tried to research historical society for that area. If you're in that area, maybe a visit to the historical museum would help.?

Hello. I’m not sure if this site is still active, but I would like to get in contact with the person who shared this. This token is the first tangible proof of my family’s local history.

Nice one !

Did you look on the huge Token site on the net - it lists Tokens by their State of origin.
It used to be called - "Richards Token Data Base".
