This will be my first post to this forum...so I hope you all like it. Actually I could use a little help with dating it too. I can't find an example of it anywhere.
It's a Bull Durham 5cent cigar token/fob. But no luck with a date.
I can't help with the date but it's a very cool find. [/align]
What you found is # 681 in advertising Watch Fobs book by J.C. Reese . Silver in color,manufacture by Whitehead & Hoag, Newark New Jersey. Hethermann Bros. Co. , Louisville Ky. - Bull Durham 5 cent Cigar.
