I've had this token for some time, and ask anyone with info to please post it.

Thanks to all.

Looks like it was in Kentucky.

 

Watts Creek Jellico Coal Company
Town: Wofford
County: Whitley
State: Kentucky
Years of Operation: 1905-1915


But this may or may not be the same one.

 

never mind.

 

It appears that token could have been used in either of two stores affiliated with the Watts Creek Jellico Coal Co. Store W285 was the Lee F. Gatliff Store, and store W286 was the G. Bummett Store. Both of those stores were also in Wofford, Ky in Whitley County. The Watts Creek Jellico Coal Company only employed 60 miners, so it was not a large operation, and that is reflected in the value of the token. My 1971 reference listed the value for this token at $3.00, when the range for all coal co. tokens went from .25 to 8.00.

 

Thanks, CW.

I had forgotten that this was even posted!
