Description

Civil War store card from Kentucky, cataloged as Fuld 510A-2A. Kentucky was a critical border state maintaining Union loyalty while deeply divided. Louisville served as a major supply depot and source of merchant tokens. Like the majority of Civil War store cards, this token is undated, produced during the acute 1862-1864 small change crisis. Professional die sinkers like John Stanton, Benjamin True, and William Bridgens supplied dies to merchants across the Northern states. The Fuld catalog lists over 10,000 die and metal varieties of Civil War store cards.
