Waddell Packing Company Token

[Butterfield]

Hi, this token, Waddell Packing Company, is similar to one on tokencatalog.com except that one says Canning instead of Packing. Is it the same company, does anyone know? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Butter--I suspect yours is from a different outfit from the one on tokencatalog. I see references to a Waddell Packing Co. in Lindsay, CA but your token appears older than when that company was in business. Plus it looks to me to be an Eastern token. I do see a Waddell Packing Company in Tanyard, MD in 1932 which I would wager is where this one was used. I'll check with the MD token cataloger. How about posting your pics on tokencatalog.com?

Thanks John! I'll post it on tokencatalog.com.

The MD token Cataloger knows of a self-identified token from the Waddell Packing Co. / Bethlehem, MD, so that is probably a better attribution. Apparently the packing house was in Tanyard and the company's office was in Bethlehem. 2 miles apart.
