1863. B. Kittredge & Co. Dealers in Military Goods, Guns, Pistols and Sporting Apparatus, Fuld 165CN-2A, R3.
Civil War tokens were minted by private parties from 1861 until 1864 when congress banned the minting of private coins to be used as currency. These tokens were minted as Patriotic tokens, Store Card tokens, and Sutler tokens. Patriotic tokens depicted patriotic emblems and sayings. Store Card tokens had information about a store on one side or both sides if the business was successful enough. Sutler tokens are very similar to store cards except they were circulated by sutlers. Sutlers were merchants that followed an army, selling them goods. VF condition
