For sale, a great token…. THE NICEST SPECIMEN I HAVE EVER SEEN FROM THIS MERCHANT….. RARE TO FIND MERCHANT… CIGAR DEALERS l. Rubber stamp co (maker marks) located in the historic mining camp / living ghost town of MANHATTAN, NEVADA. THIS IS A RARE TO FIND ANTIQUE TOKEN USED IN THE LIVING GHOST TOWN OF MANHATTAN…. SHOWS RARE R9 TO FIND IN ORIGINAL NEVADA BOOK WHICH ACTUALLY GAVE RARITY DATA ON EVERY LISTED TOKEN WHAT A CONCEPT, EH? WHICH SHOWS “5 REPORTED”….. AND THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL DARK “NATURAL PATINA” (UNCLEANED) SPECIMEN…. Most tokens from this region are dug and ugly. Looking up “NORTH & FERGUSON CO” in. My Nevada business directories (Polks 1906, Polks 1913, Bradstreet 1914 & Bradstreet 1919) SHOWS THAT YES… (so they were at least in business from 1906 to 1919 era that we know of). THEN AROUND 1905 REALLY EXPLODED AS A GOLD CAMP…. THE PEAK POPULATION HIT 4000… AND TODAY MAYBE 100 PEOPLE LIVE IN THE REGION, THUS A “LIVING GHOST TOWN”. And use historic data on these and the original catalog on these old tokens, I personally do not use the latest spreadsheet compilation with too many to count revisions with prices changing monthly… The original catalog actually gives rarities for each listing, and this is a rare to find MANHATTAN NEVADA token (especially in this condition), and listed in the iconic Nevada Token book by Dunn, Schilling and Hoskins as catalog Ma-6……. The historic mining camp town of Manhattan is considered a “living ghost town” today with a small remnant population of 100 as compared to a peak population of 4000 in the region in its heyday…… Its an amazing place… Located not too far from Belmont, Tonopah, Gabbs, Luna and Mina Nevada. Trade token is brass metal, round, about 21mm in size, and it has strong details. (please see pictures in gallery) Natural chocolate brown “desert patina”…. Has never been cleaned. Gallery pictures should give you all the information you need. Thanks so much for looking…. Collect and invest in history!!!!! Tangible assets are always the best ones.
