[QUOTE="enochian, post: 2280933, member: 39576"]Ive done alot of research on this. I came into it not knowing anything about it or the company. from my research its in the book Standard Catalog of United States Tokens 1700-1900. I do not have this book These were giving out with the watches they sold and using the serial on the reverse i was ble to look up which watches go with this token that plus the design of father time make this realy cool its from the 1870s and has a raity of r-5 and sulposedly means 31-75 known in present existence ( i dont understand this) also different ones of these are listed as r-5+ and im not sure what that means? i can find the other types of these that were made in later years on ebay etc but i can not find a value on this one (one of the first ones). If some one has this book can you let me know what it says about it. The pictures make it look a lot worse then it does. more info and better pictures of these tokens [url]http://www.novanumismatics.com/industry/the-elgin-national-watch-co-its-father-time-tokens/[/url][/QUOTE]
