Description
Foster & Parry were dealers in stoves, iron, and hardware in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their brass token (Miller Mich-10) features a cookstove and padlock design, directly advertising the firm's hardware products. An example of this token is in the Yale University Art Gallery. Foster & Parry's token also appears as part of a mule with the Haviland Stevenson South Carolina die (Miller SC-3), demonstrating the practice of die sharing among token manufacturers who produced pieces for merchants in distant states. Grand Rapids was emerging as a significant manufacturing center in western Michigan during this period. Cataloged as Miller Mich-10.
