This is a Keystone shaped marker on a front mount pole, but it is not a town marker.  Text says: “Peters Camp Now BLOSSBURG Coal Discovered 1792 By Patterson Brothers Noted Indian Scouts.”

Marker was moved. Originally located at the south end of South Williamson Road at Gulick and Main St. (see postcard image).
