Rare North West Company 1820 Token Fur Trade




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:63818
Original Description:
Here is a rarely seen artifact of the fur trade, with a low starting price and no reserve.  This is 1 1/8" in diameter, and weighs 8.1 grams.  I do not know what the metal composition is, but it is slightly porous.  There is edge damage from abrasion and or corrosion.  Also surface wear to the beaver and the man's head.
These were produced by the North West Company in 1820, the year before the Crown forced the merger with Hudson's Bay Company.  I do not know... what the age of this piece is, beyond the patina and wear.  I cannot guarantee that this was made during the fur trade era.  Please review the photos carefully, as they are the basis for you to form an opinion and bid.  We have retired and are passing on some of the collections to new caretakers.
I have listed a number of other interesting items; take a look.
Thanks
