Attention all ATTS members:
As you may have noticed, this website has not had any new material for the year 2014. This is due to the fact that none of our members have contacted me to contribute anything.
Please consider helping this website stay relevant by contributing content to it. Your contribution can be as simple as a couple of photos of your collection or of a specific piece or pieces from your collection or an old article of yours that was once published in the newsletter. Don’t feel that just because you don’t have a bunch of R-9′s and R-10′s to take photos of that we aren’t interested in your story, because we are!
Get in touch & get involved!
I’m happy to share my pics of the Illinois Tazewell County 1/4 cent token. I don’t have much information on it, but would like to learn more. For instance, what are the differences between L97a, L97b, L97c, L97d, L97e, &L97f?
You can download the pics from here (or I can e-mail them over if you drop me a line):

In an absolutely unrelated writing effort, I’ve been working on the history of Woodford County, in the central part of the state. The county, I have accidentally discovered in the process of my writing, is home to El Paso and Roanoke of provisional sales tax token fame.
It might be interesting to see a large map locating each of the IL provisional communities, perhaps with each location clickable to its own page detailing the token history of that town.
In case anybody wants to see my very obscure piece on Woodford County, here is the link:
