One of the last token machines of this type used in Scotland. This machine controls the line between Elgin and Forres.
These tokens were given to everyone who came to witness Atlantis being turned over from NASA to the Delaware North Companies who run the Kennedy Space Center visitor place. While it was put in a very cheap case, the token seems to not be cheap. Admission to the event certainly was great enough to pay for something better than a cheap arcade token. I'm no expert in the quality of these items, though, so I can't tell how not-cheap it might be. No matter, though; I'm keeping it.

Perhaps becoming apparent, I have a things for isolated trees.
Maybe it seems like a sarcastic token of the forest which once was, or the fact one tree in particular seemed too valuable to felled for the sake of convenience.
This one i had seen a number of times on my travels in the area, right in the middle of a large, undulating tree.
Nice as it was, it had never previously been worth slamming on the breaks to pull over. Until that is, i saw the the field had been sewn in these great, hard lines.
So i came back at sun down (with seconds to go!) Sprinted across the field (much bigger than it looks!) and grabbed this!
This is the classic board game Mousetrap, where players make their way around the board, building a mousetrap and getting cheese slices until the fateful roll of the dice that allows a player to turn a dial which leads to a kick to the bucket at the top of the stairs that sends a marble down the stairs to a chute, hitting a stick that causes another marble to take a dive into a bathtub that drains onto a teeter-totter that sends a diver into a tub that triggers a cage to fall on the mouse token...
When you think of "contraption" ( or should I say con-TRAP-tion), this is the game that comes to my mind...

We forgot to get a picture of me with the kids last year, but we got one this year. Ava just wouldn't smile for it... Much later, we realized that Steve had forgotten to feed her breakfast that morning—and she had been too busy building her new Lego sets to ask for it—so she was probably a little hangry.
Poorly designed TTC token machine. It's not even bilingual and when the price increases, the machine pricing becomes that you get less tokens and get a bunch of change in return. awkward usage.

Please be aware... I am no coin expert. Titles here are either what I was told when acquiring these or are from a simple Google search. I make no claim as to them being 100% accurate but I make an effort to be as factual as I am able when posting. There may well be some duplication of coin type or variety, but I try not to double post any single coins. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. These are all from my semi worthless collection of world coins from over the years. Little to no value exists in most (if not all) of them. They are just a hobby.

Miss E. Oldham Gift, 1953.
Related to his Poem of the same name, written in 1810.
"MAID OF ATHENS, ERE WE PART.[1]
Ζωή μου, σᾶς ἀγαπῶ.
1.
Maid of Athens,[2] ere we part,
Give, oh give me back my heart!
Or, since that has left my breast,
Keep it now, and take the rest!
Hear my vow before I go,
Ζωή μου, σᾶς ἀγαπῶ.[3]
2.
By those tresses unconfined,
Wooed by each Ægean wind;
By those lids whose jetty fringe
Kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge
By those wild eyes like the roe,
Ζωή μου, σᾶς ἀγαπῶ.
3.
By that lip I long to taste;
By that zone-encircled waist;
By all the token-flowers[4] that tell
What words can never speak so well;
By love's alternate joy and woe,
Ζωή μου, σᾶς ἀγαπῶ.
4.
Maid of Athens! I am gone:
Think of me, sweet! when alone.
Though I fly to Istambol,[5]
Athens holds my heart and soul:
Can I cease to love thee? No!
Ζωή μου, σᾶς ἀγαπῶ.
Athens, 1810.
[First published, Childe Harold, 1812 (4to).]
Song.—[1812.]
[The Maid of Athens was, it is supposed, the eldest of three sisters, daughters of Theodora Macri, the widow of a former English vice-consul. Byron and Hobhouse lodged at her house. The sisters were sought out and described by the artist, Hugh W. Williams, who visited Athens in May, 1817: "Theresa, the Maid of Athens, Catinco, and Mariana, are of middle stature.... The two eldest have black, or dark hair and eyes; their visage oval, and complexion somewhat pale, with teeth of pearly whiteness. Their cheeks are rounded, their noses straight, rather inclined to aquiline. The youngest, Mariana, is very fair, her face not so finely rounded, but has a gayer expression than her sisters', whose countenances, except when the conversation has something of mirth in it, may be said to be rather pensive. Their persons are elegant, and their manners pleasing and lady-like, such as would be fascinating in any country. They possess very considerable powers of conversation, and their minds seem to be more instructed than those of the Greek women in general."—Travels in Italy, Greece, etc., ii. 291, 292. Other travellers, Hughes, who visited Athens in 1813, and Walsh (Narrative of a Resident in Constantinople, i. 122), who saw Theresa in 1821, found her charming and interesting, but speak of her beauty as a thing of the past. "She married an Englishman named Black, employed in H.M. Consular Service at Mesolonghi. She survived her husband and fell into great poverty.... Theresa Black died October 15, 1875, aged 80 years." (See Letters, 1898, i. 269, 270, note 1; and Life, p. 105, note.) "Maid of Athens" is possibly the best-known of Byron's short poems, all over the English-speaking world. This is no doubt due in part to its having been set to music by about half a dozen composers—the latest of whom was Gounod.]
Romaic expression of tenderness. If I translate it, I shall affront the gentlemen, as it may seem that I supposed they could not; and if I do not, I may affront the ladies. For fear of any misconstruction on the part of the latter, I shall do so, begging pardon of the learned. It means, "My life, I love you!" which sounds very prettily in all languages, and is as much in fashion in Greece at this day as, Juvenal tells us, the two first words were amongst the Roman ladies, whose erotic expressions were all Hellenised. [The reference is to the Ζωὴ καὶ Ψυχὴ of Roman courtesans. Vide Juvenal, lib. ii., Sat. vi. line 195; Martial, Epig. x. 68. 5.]
In the East (where ladies are not taught to write, lest they should scribble assignations), flowers, cinders, pebbles, etc., convey the sentiments of the parties, by that universal deputy of Mercury—an old woman. A cinder says, "I burn for thee;" a bunch of flowers tied with hair, "Take me and fly;" but a pebble declares—what nothing else can. [Compare The Bride of Abydos, line 295—
"What! not receive my foolish flower?"
See, too, Medwin's story of "one of the principal incidents in The Giaour." "I was in despair, and could hardly contrive to get a cinder, or a token-flower sent to express it."—Conversations of Lord Byron, 1824, p. 122.]
Constantinople. [Compare—
"Tho' I am parted, yet my mind
That's more than self still stays behind."

The Pan-tec-ne-thec-a was a moving panorama "film" that ran at Platt's New Music Hall in San Francisco in September 1862. The political token represented the strong political support for the Union centered in San Francisco. Was the token used as an entry ticket or was it a gift awarded to lucky attendees as described in advertisements in 1862? The token is ex-Eric P. Newman collection. Is R.B.G. Robert B. Gray, manufacturing jeweler and fractional gold maker with his business in San Francisco?
Dharmathakur (also called Dharmaraj) is a Hindu community-god, non-Aryan in origin, worshipped by villagers in the traditional Rarh region in the present day Indian state of West Bengal as one of their special village gods. He is represented by a shapeless stone daubed with vermillion, surrounded by terracotta horses, and is normally placed under a tree or placed in the open.
Symbolic sacrifice of clay horses for fulfillment of wishes or as a token of their devotion is common for many village gods and goddesses, but an assembly of terracotta horses of various shapes and sizes representing sacrifice on wish fulfillment is perhaps peculiar to Dharmathakur. It is a possibility that the horse symboloises links with the Sun-god.
