He gave it to me and after some digging thru the web I found out that Mr Donovan built 14 miles of the local railroads in 1904. He was into relestate, livestock and owned a local drug store also. His railroad buisness died out in 1911 but there is a street in town named after him near the old train depot. I cant determine if it was used as a train token or what but its cool to own a token that was right from your home town. The reverse is almost worn away but has the number 25 stamped on it. There is no year date on it so I can only quess with the info I have. Anybody else seen one of these?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
