<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 1708459, member: 2100"]Sounds like a nice group of tokens. I suspect the Broas Pie token is another Civil War token, and not from 1794. I suspect that D.B. Packard was related to W. & A.J. Packard, also issuers of Hardware & Iron theme Civil War tokens from the Warren/Youngstown area. Mapquest can not find a West Greenville, PA, but Greenville, PA is only about 28 miles from Warren, OH, so the two merchants with the same surname and line of business were not that far apart, so this short bit of history may also apply to your token. I know the Warren, OH area Packard descendants had businesses that evolved into manufacturing the Packard automobile, with the Packard Electric Company remaining in business even today. At one time Packard Electric was a division of General Motors, but was spun off some years ago along with a group of other divisions to form DELPHI. DELPHI is an acronym using the first letter of each of the divisions, with the "P" representing Packard. </p><p><br /></p><p> If you like, post photos of each of your tokens, and I will be glad to id them and provide rarity ratings for them. Some of those merchants have some rare varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
