biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/20/2010 02:47 am This is one of my all-time favorite Civil War store card tokens for obvious reasons and a new pick up of mine. M.L. Marshall must have been an interesting merchant and I have always wondered what kind of "rare coins" he kept in stock almost 150 years ago Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 12:54 pm Here's a bio on ML... Store card of M.L. Marshall from the Finger Lakes Region located on Lake Ontario. He was the proprietor of a fishing tackle and coin shop. Morgan, whose nickname was "Blunt," was born in 1822, in Oneida County, New York. He developed an interest in the outdoors particular fishing. His general store emphasized sports equipment but stocked other dry goods as well. He served as president of the Oswego Horticultural Club. He was important in the Oswego Leather Stocking Club, a group that was prominent in the suppression of illegal fishing and the taking of game. His numismatic activities have been recorded but lightly as he was active in an era before there were any regularly issued publications in the hobby as this not happening until May 1866 with the advent of the American Journal of Numismatics.

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 2:48 pm I like to investigate the history behind the tokens I collect and look on the internet to see what has been written about them. Not sure if you're aware, but ML Marshall also had a larger token in 1862 w/ a fly fisherman on the obverse... Dave Report this Post to the Staff
