Brummagem Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 10:44 am I'm not sure the original intent for this piece was to be a token. Some of them still have stick pins attached and when Crumpton advertised in 1896 it was for "buttons." When I checked Worthpoint the prices ranged from $13.15 for this one- https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...ka-519704849 to $152.49 for this one https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...ka-519704849 The stickpin pictured below is sold for $26.00 https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...ee-473441668 Report this Post to the Staff
Brummagem Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 10:58 am Also wanted to add that if you read the stickpin listing it says that J.A. Crumpton was a Confederate soldier. I don't believe that is accurate. The John A. Crumpton I think made these was born in Indiana c. 1850-2 and died in Denver in 1898. He had only been in Denver a little over a year and his burial took place in Lincoln, Nebraska. Per his obit (Lincoln Journal Star 10/22/1898) he was "bookkeeper in the Central National Bank and moved to Denver to be bookkeeper for the "Fraternal Union and Woodmen."
