Nice M.A. Root token bq. Root was located at 140 Chestnut from 1847 until 1856 so your token is pre-1860s. In 1856 or 1857 he moved to 144...
Thanks Wehwalt, I'll have to look for info on them. Bruce
I was trying to read the inscription (maker's mark) on the bottom of your ashtray Wehwalt, but can only see the word "copperware". Can you see...

That's really an interesting token Wehwalt. It seems an odd thing to commerorate something so destructive. They were desperate times for sure but...
