1863 Milwaukee Plank Road Brewery Token

milco · Mar 29, 2020

I found this last fall within a half mile of what was once the Plank Road Brewery in Milwaukee. This is the third example of this token that I have dug while MDing.

nice ! I'd take an old token over an old coin anyday . ( Gold coins being the exception, of course :laughing:

)

Awesome token, I would love to find a local brewery token, or any local token! Love them, congrats!

Nice, is that the same company as the current Miller brewery? (now owned by Coors, I think)

Very cool token, that would be at the top of my collection!

Sweet old token, congrats. I have been fortunate enough to find a couple local breweries tokens here. Just a neat piece of history. Good luck, Mark

I found an identical token in central Arkansas about a week ago.

Yes, that was the forerunner to Miller Brewing.
