<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2206469, member: 73224&quot;]For whatever reason I was intrigued about information on this token.&nbsp; I have searched the internet without much luck.&nbsp; Some of what I found.&nbsp; The token was made by Scovill Mfg. which was originally started as a button manufacturer in the early 19th century.&nbsp; The address 59 So. Canal St. and 61 So. Canal St. in 1871 looks to be on the edge of buildings that burned during the Great Chicago Fire.&nbsp; Also, in 1909 Chicago renumbered a lot of streets where they used Madison and So. Canal as the starting point of renumbering.&nbsp;&nbsp; 59 &amp; 61 So. Canal did not get renumbered.&nbsp; If you&#039;re an ANA member they may have a book by Ore H. Vacketta that may have further information on the token.&nbsp; Also, search the authors name here(CoinTalk), and there is a thread or two mentioning this book.&nbsp; Lastly, you may try contacting the Chicago Coin Club and present the token to them. The club may have further information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
