James W. Curtis

28x26mm, WM (pewter)

Tom writes: From what some Texas dealers have told me, Curtis was a retired military officer and exonumia collector with his own counterstamp die and plenty of time on his hands. He produced a variety of "personality" pieces like yours (I've also seen them on chunks of copper) as well as counterstamping various cheap tokens of the time (late 1960s). I have one of the Shell Meet the Presidents pieces with his c/s.

Know anything about this token? Please let me know!
