Archives International Sale 116 Selections Item 7 Obverse NY PA RI U S Obsolete Civil War Era Cardboard Tokens or Chits and Early PA RI Fiscal Document.jpg

New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, 1807-62. Lot of 4 items, Includes a pair of late-19th to early-20th-century cardboard merchant trade tokens, each denominated One Cent and intended for local redemption rather than legal tender use. The first is an orange cardboard token printed in black, reading "ONE CENT / H. CLEVELAND / Shushan, N.Y." within a double-line circular border; blank reverse, representing a scarce small-town Washington County, New York merchant issue. The second is a green cardboard token printed in black, reading "DAVE'S / 1 CENT / 385 Grand St." within a decorative border; blank reverse, the address strongly suggesting a New York City Grand Street merchant, though no city name appears on the piece. Both items are typical examples of fragile merchant scrip used for minor change or store credit, most often produced in limited quantities and seldom preserved. A review of standard merchant scrip and token references does not reveal confirmed catalog listings for either issuer, and both pieces should be regarded as unlisted merchant scrip. Condition reflects circulation and storage, with folds, creases, edge wear, surface soiling, and handling marks consistent with use. An appealing and increasingly scarce pair of New York cardboard merchant tokens, suitable for collectors of exonumia, local scrip, and early American retail ephemera. Also Included s an 1807, $450 IOU to be paid out after 60 days, Cut Cancelled at bottom; and, and 1859, Receipt for $13.9. Condition ranges from VG to VF. (4). Sold "AS IS" no returns accepted.
