Here is a nother neat scrip token I purchased today. I have not had any luck finding any info on this one either. I was just wondering if anyone had any info as to where this one was from. It reads JOHN MARCHLENSKI. Picked this one up for a quarter today :thumb:. I am still looking for a book on these tokens. Thanks again
Nice buy for 25 cents! John Marchlenski was a grocer in Wheeling, WV and was listed in the 1914 Bradstreet. My reference only indicated dime and half denominations. These references are hard to find. I think I gave this info before, but in case I did not, I have an 80 page soft cover _ A Checklist and Aid to Attributing Ingle System Scrip _ by Lloyd E. Wagaman, 1987, published by Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio Token and Medal Society.
Thanks for the info cwtokenman. I am becoming a fan of these Ingle tokens and hope I can find a book on them soon. Fastfun1111

Consolidate posts when possible (I'm OCD about that, even though I forget to sometimes ) Also, any offers to buy or sell are prohibited in anything but the open forum. And I'd take my email off here if I was you......
Your first two posts are too old to edit, but your third post should have an edit button at the bottom of it to the left of the reply button.
