<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1506814, member: 66&quot;]There is a book on Sutler tokens but even the book is not cheap.&nbsp; And if there is a sutler token for those units it will not be cheap and it will not be easy to find.&nbsp; Average price for even low grade common Sutler is in the $200 to $400 range.&nbsp; I only have one sutler just as a representative example.&nbsp; I may have a copy of the book, I don&#039;t remember.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did a little searching and the Regiment did have a sutler assigned to it, a Mr Brown.&nbsp; He apparently amassed a fortune and later established a bank in Richmond VA and later in Chicago.&nbsp; He died in 1877.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know yet if he issued tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>OK he did issue at least one token.&nbsp; His name was A Vance Brown and he issued a good for 5 cent token in Brass for the 39th IL&nbsp; It is listed as an R-9 which on the 1 to 10 scale used for Civil War tokens would mean that there are 2 to 4 pieces known.&nbsp; He also apparently had a 50 cent token as well.&nbsp; I have found one reference to the sale of one of the five cent tokens but the website referenced is no longer available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
