| Need help dating a token I found this today and need help trying to give it a birth day. Anyone remember this place and its dates of operation?

| That's a nice find. IIRC, Big A auto store is 50 N. 2nd. I can't remember what buildings were removed north of there. Anywhoo, I'll give you a buck for it.... jk.

| OOOOOH... I thought you meant you were looking to hook up with a white guy on a basketball team.

| I asked around and haven't found anyone that remembers that business. I'd bet they specialized in wind charger systems. One fellow remembers an auto camp across the street (east) from Wright Park... he also remembers a Nash dealership across Water St.. south of Manis Body Shop... The Coffee Cup cafe... a shoe store was in that area, too. I barely remember the High Plains Journal being in the building now occupied by Leonard Tire.... Cockey Brothers Body Shop now known as Overhead Door... with the Doghouse Bar in that 'sliver' building attached to the north side.

| I've been told possibly a place just east of Wright Park also. These types of tokens were popular from the 20's-50's. Could be a one of a kind  Half the fun of finding this stuff is trying to find out where it came from.

| There is an antique store downtown. They may know. Or you could try the Heritage Center on Second. Good luck and let us know what you found out.

| I visited with another oldtimer today and he remembers an Exide battery dealer located east of the park. He also said that Bud Hampton had a hotel in the same area; he confirmed the auto camp, too.
