Comment

Frank S. Van Pelt had two stores/garages, one in Weyer's Cave and another in Burketown, both in northern Augusta County. There are tokens labeled "Van Pelt's Store / Weyer's Cave" and these without the place name. It's generally thought that the ones without a place name were used at the Burketown location.
