These are one of my most popular items at this time of year. New photos to re-launch the tokens for the 2012 festive season!
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 There were many types issued in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries, but they were largely superseded by communion cards.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 .
To replace the – 40 year old and never serviced – bottom bracket on the Gent’s Touring I got this new one made by Token.
I measured 127 mm on the old spindle, but since it was asymmetrical and I had some room to spare on both sides I bought this 122.5 mm long version.
The old bottom bracket weighed about. 380 gramm, this new one (with Carbon!) just under 260. Almost a third lighter!

The man on horseback is no longer part of the classic game.
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.
In the current "lockdown" situation, legitimate photo opportunities only come along very infrequently.
This was one - I was doing my daily "constitutional" whilst Anne was in the supermarket doing our weekly shop ...
This machine was sporting a "Not to be Moved" token
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.

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!
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.
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.
The Branch Line Society along with TransPennine Express, ran the 'Class 170 Farewell Tracker' from Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes using a trio of Class 170/3 units, 170307, 170306 and 170303, which took in a number of loops and sidings along the way and a visit to Buxton. seen here picking up the token for the single track section to Buxton, along the freight only line past the Tunstead Quarry complex,
The tour would soon come back this way enroute to Sheffield and onwards to Cleethorpes.
After nearly 10 years working for TransPennine having come from South West Trains all nine of these units will be very soon moving on to Chiltern Railways.
