EXTREMELY RARE AND UNLISTED

" by a United States Army military unit, and token says "

" at the
old historic site of COLUMBUS / CAMP FURLONG, NEW MEXICO....on the US / Mexico border
THIS TOKEN IS ACTUALLY PICTURED ON THE TOKEN WEBSITE......AND IT SHOWS COLUMBUS AND FORT BLISS TEXAS...BUT I DO KNOW 100% THAT THIS WAS DUG IN COLUMBUS NM..SO THAT IS DEFINITELY WHERE IT WAS USED, LOST AND RECOVERED
THIS IS A DUG SPECIMEN, FULLY READABLE FOUND AT COLUMBUS MANY YEARS AGO....IT HAS A CRACK BUT IS COMPLETE, UNI-FACIAL STYLE, AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER SAID USED AT CAMP FURLONG / COLUMBUS SITE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN USED DURING THE PANCHO VILLA BORDER WAR CONFLICT IN THE WWI ERA
The original owner, SAID "DEFINITELY USED AT CAMP FURLONG" AT A FIELD HOSPITAL....THIS TOKEN IS NOT LISTED....BUT WAS FOUND YEARS AGO BY TREASURE HUNTERS IN COLUMBUS....
The old site of Columbus / Camp furlong is located in Luna County New Mexico....I think it is almost a living ghost town today...right on the mexico border, south of Deming NM
Token is brass, square, about 21mm in diameter, dug with a crack in one corner but complete, but fully discernible (see gallery)
These old US Military tokens are extremely collectible today...especially tokens used at a Field Hospital operating at a historic border war Pancho Villa camp
SUPER RARE UNLISTED ANTIQUE 1916-1917 ERA U.S. MILITARY ISSUED
