Standard Reference for Store Tokens?

Hello!

So as the title reads...what's the standard or go-to reference for store tokens? In a break from tradition (or maybe the more typical behavior) I bought a token before the book! I can't post pictures of it, but I wanted to jump on it because it's from my home town, so that's why I did what I did. Anyway...can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

That would be the late great Russell Rulau's references.

Dumb question, but does it stop at 1900 or in the 1900s?

Looks like this on is getting added to my wish list!

 

I don't own a copy.

 

I have and use Benjamin P. Wright's American Business Tokens ( 1972), It has been adequate for my purpose.

 

I have the Fuld reference. It covers the Civil War era. For everything else I use the Rulau book.

 

For real reference you typically have to get the specialized book for each state.

 

Thanks for the input everyone.

 

Do you know if it's a Civil War store card Jack or post Civil War ? If you could give us a decent description maybe we can find out something about it.
