Default 4 Tokens...One Property
I've gotten more tokens in the last two days than I have in the last two years... I thought it was pretty cool to find such big tokens... One is a Frank E. Bessler - Portage Lakes, Akron, OH Good luck token, dated Oct. 23, 1939... Another one is a large Palmolive - "Good for one Cake) Token... And the third one found tonight was a plain "Good for 5c in trade" token. I got the large dime store star token the other day from the same property... All of them were found between 4 and 7 inches... The Bessler token is quite heavy and is sold for $25 on ebay.

Say relichound is that a dog tax tag under the buckle in the upper left hand corner? If so what year is it? Looks like a low numbered one.

I've got the same Palmolive token, and last year there was one for sale on a coin site for $27; it's gone now, so I guess it sold.

That property is unique... four tokens... very unusual... I assume you have a lot more area to cover there... RickO

There was a neighborhood grocery store across the street from this property... makes sense with the amount of tokens found.

Low number and early 1900's, it is worth a little bit of money.
