J.D. Abraham - Delhi's Big Department Store?!

5 publicações • visualizado 49 vezes

Hi folks, has anyone come across tokens from J.D. Abraham's? I tried searching around online (text and image searches) with no real results. I find it peculiar that I can't find any reference to the store even existing. Perhaps it wasn't as big as J.D. thought it was. I feel like I'm never going to be able to cash it in and get my 5 in merchandise. 

 

Token was in my grandfather's coin collection, and I have zero info other than that. Thanks for any info y'all might have, or at least for taking a look and sharing in my confusion.

Amazing! Thank you for your searching skills. I'd never even heard of Delhi Ontario until now. 

 

It's wild to me that such a tiny Ontario town produced so many tokens as are listed in that auction posting. Judging by the tokens shown there, it was some big competition between 3 stores. J.D. Abraham had Delhi's big department store. But H.L. Stratton's Wonderland is said to be Delhi's leading store. And J.W. Hetherington probably couldn't compete after his lame tokens of “general merchant” failed to dazzle the handful of potential shoppers. 

 

Is it appropriate for me to make a new token listing for the one I have? No idea of the year, but at least it would be better than nothing I suppose.
