DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 02:21 am Here's something I ran across today--a whiskey token with real "woodgrain". I just thought this was interesting for some reason, so I picked it up. I know nothing about these tokens, other than this looks like an ad piece--and may be from the prohibition/depression era. The brand "Old Drum" sounds like a bootleg still, and "get the most for your money" evokes the Depression to me--but those are just guesses. I found a mention in this bottle collector's journal--any other info would be appreciated. Edited by DVCollector 01/05/2010 02:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 01/12/2010 1:16 pm Nice old token....with the grain effect. Makes me wonder if it had any thing to do with the 75% grain neutral spirits as listed in this 1939 ad.. Report this Post to the Staff
