And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow.
(As You Like It, Act II Scene 7)

I created this little rose design in the spirit of victorian love tokens for a papercutting workshop this weekend at Wing & Clover in Rhinebeck, NY: wingandclover.com.
The center opens up to a little space for a secret sentiment.
A communion token is a metal token issued to members of Presbyterian churches in order to provide them entrance to the Lord's Supper. There were many types issued in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries, but they were largely superseded by communion cards. These particular tokens were issued by St Andrew's Church in Rodney Street , Liverpool , and are dated 1824 , the year the church opened .
Patriotic Civil War Token
This patriotic token was meant to remind voters that fate of the nation depended upon the re-election of President Lincoln in the fall elections.
These old tokens, also known as bar chips are from a now closed bar which was located in Larksville, PA.
Such chips were given when one patron wanted to buy another one a drink. Different shapes, and/or colors determined what type of drink was to be given.
Many bars had such tokens, but now with contemporary registers, paper slips are printed, usually with the value and date printed on it. This is designed to keep customers from trying to get a higher priced drink with a lower valued chip. And they are dated so that they must be used on the date issued.
These colorful and nostalgic collectibles have a good following of collectors.

Member of railway staff exchanging 'tokens' with the engine driver on arrival at Highley Station, Shropshire, UK.
Tokens are a simple 19th century idea so no two trains can be on a section of single track at any one given time, hence avoiding any collisions.
For info regarding our token system in use in the UK, see :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_(railway_signalling)
- scroll down and click on railway signalling link under 'other uses'......
This is how the token exchange is done during the night time. This one was speeding at nearly 80 kmph
1) The khalasi lights a 'Mashal' and holds up in the right hand
2) The LP honks and acknowledges from far off
3) The khalasi then holds up the token ring in the left hand
4) The LP switches the headlights off to enable the assistant to sight the token ring next to the fire
5) voila, before you can say 'token', the token ring is collected by the assistant
All in all an exciting visual
The new TTC tokens are slightly fatter than the old ones -- and thus more difficult to insert into ye olde token holder. Damn you TTC!
Brass token used in a Haslingden (Lancashire UK) foundry. Probably used to check which worker were present. One of my Chattwood relatives worked at this foundry so perhaps it could be his.

Red roses a token symbol,
of love and prayer,
for all souls,
past,
present,
and of the future,
persecuted,
murdered or imprisoned,
for no other crime,
than to have believe in,
wished no more than,
to follow new Knowledge,
Wisdom of the next Divine Educator,
Manifesting God’s Guidance and Grace.
Red roses a token symbol,
of Gods Guidance,
never of this physical realm,
spiritual Sovereignty,
laws of love and compassion,
forgiveness and grace,
mercy and joy,
sovereignty never wishing,
to compete with humanities greed of power,
control of fellow beings,
environments and resources.
Red roses a token symbol,
of Gods power,
lying solely in how we treat each other,
not on what we can own or control,
over another,
humanities own fears,
entrapping themselves,
prisoners in the dust,
of their own immaturity.
Red roses a token symbol,
man’s capacity to love,
the way to raise himself up,
to his rightful station,
as a human being,
free from the dust and clay,
attaining the power of flight,
spiritually in heaven,
while his feet still walk on the earth.

Token from the Sydney Monorail. The reverse side had a few Aussie Icons, which included The Sydney Harbour Bridge, a Frill Neck Lizard & a Koala, but not all on the same token.
