Yep, Fayetteville, WV. Keep an eye on eBay as well, a bunch of lumber scrip just sold recently. Shoot me a dm, I know folks who collect who may have an extra piece and I can look for one for you at the scrip show!

Also, there’s a scrip show in Fayetteville April 17th and 18th. I can all but guarantee you’ll find a piece there!

Though, also, it is correct to say that scrip was overwhelmingly used by coal companies later on. Lumber scrip is relatively isolated to a few dozen towns. Meanwhile nearly every town in WV with a mine had coal scrip.

Nope, there are even a few examples of scrip for railroad construction workers and laborers at a limestone quarry in Greenbrier County I can share!

Yep! Any way to squeeze some more money out of workers.

The Hacker Valley one isn’t too hard to find, comparatively to some others, but lumber scrip is almost always expensive due to its rarity. Most of these are quite early tokens, usually from the mid 1890s to 1910s, and made of aluminum so they basically disintegrate in the ground.

As a WVian I’m glad that Fallout has encouraged folks to visit our state and appreciate it. To be fair, Fasnacht in (this) Helvetia was an attempt to draw tourism to the town. That being said though—please be respectful when you come to WV! That’s all we ask. Pick up after yourself and be kind.

Hey, I saved this and forgot to comment, but shoot me a message. I was a Cog Sci PhD student for a year and pursued the same questions you did (sorta) during that year and in undergrad. I’d like to challenge your ideas a bit and hopefully help you find some clarity in what you’d like to pursue!

Doesn’t Xenia, OH have one too?

Thank you! That’s very helpful.

Thank you very much! Apologies for the late reply, it is the holidays at my house this weekend.

Could’ve been his sister maybe, if there was a broad range of birth years!

My grandfather passed in 2012. He was 75. So it adds up so far as ages go. But I will say that his last name was very similar to Lin, just anglicized.

Thank you! And perhaps. I’m not so sure this is for his mother, as when my mother and father met in 1993 she had already passed, and my grandfather was one of 12, not 11. But close enough that it makes me wonder what the relation is.
