Comments

Ogdensburg is an unincorporated community in Waushara County with a population that has historically hovered well under a thousand. "Booze Barn" scrip of this type — small-denomination, novelty-adjacent paper issued by taverns and rural liquor retailers — circulated as in-house trade tokens during the latter half of the twentieth century, redeemable against purchases rather than functioning as genuine currency substitutes. The $1.50 face value is characteristic of the form: an odd denomination designed to lock redemption into a specific transaction type, most likely a single beer or well drink at the prevailing price.
