picc Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 09/26/2015 2:31 pm I have a friend who picked up this token in Australia 20 some years ago. He is trying to find information about it and what it is worth. It seems to be made out of aluminum. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 09/27/2015 12:14 am I haven't been able to find anything searching Google. I don't own any reference books on lumber tokens. I have found a couple of those books for sale online, give me a few days and I'll purchase a copy. If there's any information on this token, I'll be happy to share. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

I've placed my order for a book yesterday and put the payment in the mail. I'm thinking it may take 7 to 10 days--hopefully less though. -MV Edited by MeadowviewCollector 10/02/2015 2:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Brian Mc Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 10/02/2015 5:32 pm I hope you guys don't mind my listening in. I'm not a token collector, but I'm interested in Florida history. I grew up in Polk County Fl (one county over from Tampa). There was a Florida Tie and Timber Co in Duval County (Jacksonville area) in 1920 or so. I wonder if this is the same outfit?

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 10/10/2015 12:50 pm Good news the book arrived and this token was listed. It is aluminum, round, 20 mm and R10 on the NSCA rarity scale meaning 1 to 4 known; an R10 token was valued at $100+. The 2nd edition of Trantow's book was published in 1998. Its rarity and values may have changed since then. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
