Thread: 1931 International Harvester Token

    1931 International Harvester Token

    I went out for a brief 1 1/2 hour hunt yesterday at a site just down the road from where I live. Supposedly an old school house once stood on this site. Finds were few, but I did get an interesting token.

    Here is the last remaining original structure in the tiny town I live in, the old general store in Trimble, Illinois. The roof caved in earlier this year. I doubt if she'll be standing much longer. The old school house site is just to the north of this building.

    Crazy -- I found the exact same token at an old school house in NW Wisconsin. Thought I had a deep half dollar!

    Nice token Tony (sounds like a new handle). One of these years I hope to fix up a display of tokens I found but always have trouble rounding them up. Nice photos as well. WD

    I have that token in great condition. I researched it when I found it, and I don't think it had much monetary value.

    Nice Depression-Era token Tony! The uniqueness of those older tokens outrank many an older coin in my book. Congrats.
