He obtained his store card tokens from Cincinnati token maker John Stanton. A single custom die was combined with eight stock dies for token production. One of the die combinations is unique and the only known token is in the collection of the American Numismatic Society. The token offered in this listing is one of five varieties that utilize stock dies advertising various quantities of milk.

All of these copper varieties are very rare. In fact, all varieties for this merchant are very rare. This is a superb, uncirculated specimen of the "one gallon of milk" variety featuring attractive RB color, a sharp strike, and cartwheel luster.
