Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/22/2015 12:22 pm I tried to find out something about it but --- couldn't. It appears to be a store/merchant token. You might find out more about it through your local historical society. There are thousands of tokens listed in online catalogs but I couldn't find one like yours. That doesn't mean it isn't listed somewhere -- so you might want to keep checking online for info. on the L A Watts company. Report this Post to the Staff

It good possibly be a token from one of the mer4chants that serviced the army posts. they have a name for that type of merchant but at this time of the morning I can't seem to remember how it is spelled!
