Collector
seeks help
To the editor:
I am a lover of history and I have a somewhat unusual hobby. I collect old tokens used by stores, barber shops, pool halls, bakeries, saloons, forts, and other businesses years ago.
The tokens were “good for” 5 cents, 10 cents, 12 1/2 cents or such in trade or merchandise or “good for” a loaf of bread, one drink, one shave, one ride or whatever. They were ususally made of metal, and while having the general appearance of a coin, they were made in all shapes and sizes.
I have reason to believe that some of these tokens were used in your area and I would be most interested in obtaining some of them for my collection.
I know that this request is relatively umimportant, but as our elderly pass away and the younger members of the family inherit their possessions, tokens and other items are considered junk and thrown out. I do get a great deal of enjoyment from my hobby and I do believe that these concrete reminders of our great heritage are worth preserving- ingI
would like to hear from anyone having one or more of these tokens or from anyone that might be able to help me, Any help that you can give me of any kind is greatly appreciated. My address is Travis Roberts, Box 1168, Bellaire, Texas 77402.
