Hello,

so far? A thread with no useful answers I'm sorry to say. I have seen whatever that is or something just like it a few times. Beyond that, Google and token collectors etc. - you got me - sorry

ditto that , was just gonna ask

Did this token have something written along the length of the boar ? It looks like remnants of script on the front and rear haunch.

There's also a word above those that begins with a C

The Rulau photo doesn't show the lettering.

The wording on the boar should/does read "Cash for " along the top line and "Bristles" below. Cash for bristles

I don't have that HTT yet, but Broadstruck has an excellent example.

John J. Adams, Taunton, Mass., Low-300 / HT-181.

Due to the running hogs high relief strike I've never seen an example that was completely struck up on the inscription "Cash for Bristles"
