<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1328802, member: 75105&quot;]I found this, this year, while metal detecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>It says &quot;NEWKOM BROS, Good for 5c loaf bread&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I have searched all over google, there is no mention of &quot;newkom bros&quot; or &quot;newkom brothers&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>As a matter of fact, there are only 7 people in the entire country who have a last name of Newkom.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bread was 5 cents a loaf around the turn of the century. Rose to 10c a loaf sometime in the 20s. So I can ascertain that this token is from the turn of the century.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found it on a sidewalk strip, in a location built around the 20s, maybe earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the back is blank.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this token is extremely rare. Since I cannot even find a mention of the place called &quot;Newkom Bros&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think this token would have some value to the right person? I know something like this might be hard to sell, but I am almost 100% sure I have the only one in existence.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMG_1031.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
