Here are several of the extant pewter badges that I based my wedding token on. There's one more rectangle with a pair of people that I did not include due to room. There's also another token of a woman giving a wreath to her love, also not included here. I added the bottom right piece for it's mushroom shaped trees.

The driver of a Metro-Cammell 2 car set is leaning out of his cab to take the token from the signalman who holds it ready. The exchange is being made at Machynlleth station with a Shrewsbury - Aberystwyth train. To the far left of the scene the goods yard has a number of 4 wheeled vans in the sidings. I would guess the date at around 1971.
Peter cut this 6x6 cm neg down because of damage in the sky thus losing the top of the telegraph pole, if only he could have foretold the arrival of photoshop!

The Chicago Transit Authority started issuing tokens in 1950. They were discontinued in 1959, brought back in 1969, and then discontinued for good in 1999.
Civil War Tradesman's Token
Gustavus Lindenmueller, a New York barkeeper, issued large numbers of tokens bearing his name and likeness in 1863; by some estimates he circulated as many as one million of them. The tokens were larger than a quarter and likely circulated with a value of two cents. When the Third Avenue Railroad brought him a large quantity of his tokens that it had accepted in payment for train tickets and asked him to redeem them, he blatantly refused. This is generally believed to have been the incident that brought Congress’ attention to the irresponsible nature of private money. On April 22, 1864, Congress outlawed the private issuance of any one- or two-cent coins. A month and a half later, on June 8, it prohibited private coinage of any denomination.

After all the jewelry the Purple Mage was obliged to wear as status markers, this little token of devotion is that much more precious to Nightowl.
I've had this tiny little chap for ages, don't remember where I found it.
It's kind of spooky, is it an ancient toy, a good luck token, an evil omen the reason our world is doomed or just a silly little not so old thingy?
What do you think?

Strange a saloon would stamp a coin that's such a high value. A half dollar then is equivalent to something like $20 of purchasing value today.
counterstamped on 1857 and 1858 O Seated Half Dollars
Listing in an 1860 Tennessee business directory for Wyant Benjamin, May-flower saloon, 137 Main. [Memphis, Tennessee]
Seems another example of these comes up on ebay every six months or so.
Either this saloon distributed an incredible number of these or someone is taking plain and greatly worn old half dollars and putting this stamping on them to sell today for $200+ a pop.

I, for one, would be perfectly happy to pay a toll on a new bridge or highway. Do you think they'll let me use my old tokens?
Tokens made out of plastic are ideal for use as beverage coins on large events, parties, but also at the amusement fair.

The signaller at Rainford Junction collects the token for the single line section to Kirkby from the driver of Northern Class 156, 156 427. The 'Super Sprinter' was forming the 2J36 12:29 Kirkby to Wigan Wallgate service.
Rainford Junction station - built in 1858 - used to be a busy intersection of the Liverpool and Bury Railway, the East Lancashire Railway's Skelmersdale Branch and the St. Helens Railway. However, lines gradually closed during the 1950s and 1960s and by the 1970s the line was down to just the single route between Wigan and Kirkby and the station was renamed plain old "Rainford".
The signal box retains the full "Rainford Junction" name and - along with the semaphores - is a reminder of a much busier railway in times gone by at this location.

Jackson Mound Park was a Memphis entertainment district beginning in 1887 that was around the area where Chickasaw Heritage Park and the National Ornamental Metal Museum are today.
It had a big dancing and performing pavilion right on top of the big mound there. Plus a shooting gallery, bowling alley, band stand, bar, restaurant and other things. Check it out on this 1897 map: www.loc.gov/resource/g3964mm.g3964mm_g08348189702/?sp=84&...
