Popular Post Just Bob Posted March 16 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 16 In 1909, William Jesse Grant went to work at the J.P. Kennedy drugstore, in Biloxi, MS. The following year he purchased the business, renaming it Grant's Drugs. He continued to run the store until his death in 1936, at which time his son, William Jr. took over. He incorporated the store in 1940, but closed it 4 years later. ldhair, Redline68, Fenntucky Mike and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Just got these in the mail and haven't had time to research them yet but here you go anyway. I don't necessarily collect masonic pennies and tokens but one can't help but end up with a few when collecting tokens. I'm not convinced that this one isn't an irish token as opposed to being from the IoM. Just Bob and Redline68 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenntucky Mike Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Here's the other one that caught my attention. It's a modified masonic penny or token. Kind of a hobo masonic token. Whether or not this was actually used on the IoM I couldn't say, but it's doubtful. Still a neat piece.

Quintus Arrius Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) MWL [Mutual Welfare League] circa 1914-1915. Obverse: n.d. SING SING PRISON "ONE" cent , earned thru prison labor which may be exchanged for items available at an on-site commissary [bracketed by two stars] Reverse: M W L (inside a circle [bracketed by stars,] with the slogan, DO GOOD (on top) and MAKE. GOOD (on bottom). For obvious reasons, they are rairly seen, scarce, and few coin-collectors ever heard of them. They join two similar coins, a 5 and 10 which may be found a year ago of more on this thread. They were withdrwn from use by or before 1920, having also been tried in Auburn State Prison, New York's oldest, built to accommodate both men and women, before a dedicated prison was built for them at Wesfield State Farm, predecessor to Bedford Hills State Prison, re-named Bedford Correctional Facility, as were all state prisons in the wake of the Attica State Prison riot in 1971.
