| Looks like it and the first nation people would let little go to waste. Probably from a village trading post trader had a local make up something akin to a pickers token for items that they took in for exchange. Considering the wide assortment of items that whalers made from the bone,teeth and walrus ivory back in the day. |

| It is generally called native silver, that's what it looks like after it is removed from the surrounding rock, copper and gold commonly are also found that way. can't seem to find my pictures of mine. They call it leaf in the shops that sell souvenirs in the mining areas .Most rock shops stick with native silver name as that is what rock hounds known it by. It used to be sold by the size of the piece. Now it is by the weight with a premium added, depending on what the collectors are willing to pay at the shop |

| Yes it is A fraternal order of eagles bar token, With a lot of the faternal lodeges they have come and gone over the years. The one local sign remaining with the lodges locally has dwindled in number over the years. Been hear almost 45 years. I do know from past research some groups do not keep track of or matain the closed lodges. As to value Unless it has sentimental values to somebody, It probably not worth much than a dollar or two. ebay and other action sites generally are over priced and newer collectors tend to over pay for tokens. |
