Hi,
I was out hunting a yard with driftwood yesterday. He pulled a nice IH and few wheaties. And I got a new token. It dates to around 1900. It is an advertising/good luck token put out by a Company in St Louis that made coal fired cook stoves and heaters. On the back inside the horseshoe it says, "BE A USER OF THE COPPER-CLAD OR A LIFE MEMBER OF THE WISH-I-HAD"
Thanks for looking!

That is an awesome token! I've never seen one like it before. Fascinating how the swastika used to be just an innocuous good luck symbol.
Great find! :clapping:
I agree with Tony. I LOVE THAT TOKEN! Nice that you did some research and we can see how it fit into Americana. "Copperhead Crank Club" sounds like a cool motorcycle club to me! Excellent find my friend. Best wishes and HH, Dave.
Very cool find! :thumbsup01:
Really interesting token. Like to find things like that and getting to research it to find out what it is. That's what keeps this hobby so interesting. Congrats. Safe & HH
Awesome!! Nice post all around! How big is that thing?
Thanks, it's just a bit bigger then a quarter.Quote:

Great token but also sounds like a great stove too :lol: Nice job on the research.
Now that's a very unusual find. Congrats on this token. Think this will bring you a lot of luck.:thumbsup01:
Very nice, well researched find. Congratulations. :)
