Token of my mother's ashes taken to the Big Island. She passed away Sept 2023 just days shy of her 91st birthday. She loved living in and visiting Hawaii.
Woke up early to take the image, edited the image...forgot to post the image. So here it is, for the sake of posterity and workflow completion. Sunrise as it breaks through the treeline this Cold November Morning.

A little late to the party....but, my fave game piece of Monopoly(next to the top hat!)
In the game of Monopoly : "Each player is represented by a small metal token that is moved around the edge of the board according to the roll of two dice. The number of tokens and the tokens themselves have changed over the history of the game, with many appearing in special editions only, and some available with non-game purchases. As of 2013, eight tokens are included in standard edition games, including:
Wheelbarrow (1937b edition)
Battleship
Racecar
Thimble
Old-style shoe (or boot)
Scottie dog
Top hat
Cat (2013-onwards)"

A Japanese arcade token. It is the size of a quarter and it is the same on both sides. It is made of metal but it is not magnetic.
I was in a mood to shoot small this morning, and when I was contemplating what to use as my subject du jour this was staring me in the face. My husband had given it to me, thinking that it was an old, leftover New York City Subway Token. Except that when I tried to look it up this morning, it didn't turn up in NYC token history. So I looked a little further, and established that the Metropolitan Transit Authority One Fare token was a pre-1964 token from Boston. We lived in Boston in the mid-80's, so this must have been leftover from that time. I guess they were the same size as the MBTA tokens that replaced them, and they must have remained in circulation until the time that Boston replaced tokens with Charlie Cards (like NYC's Metro Cards).
This is a re-shot of the subject, because I wan't happy with the detail in the earlier shot and wanted to try something different with it.
The scene at Daliganj Junction Station in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh where the 11:40 Aishbargh to Izzatnager Junction Passenger 52244 was about to continue its journey north. The token had just been delivered by the bicycle rider who was about to turn and head off back to the control room. YDM-4 6552 would soon head off for Sitapur Junction and beyond.

The Dean Forest Railway held their Diesel Gala during the weekend of 15 to 17 September 2017 and I was able to make a brief visit on the first day. The lure was to see and photograph the visiting Clayton Type 1, but I also have an affinity with Class 31s, and the EWS livery of 31466 looks quite striking. The 31 has slowed to hand the token over whilst working the 14.00 Lydney Junction to Parkend and has but a few yards to reach its destination.
66094 arrives at Brentford with the 0449 Severnside Sita-Brentford. As 6A23 had come down the branch with the ticket this train had the staff. As it will depart before me we exchange tokens so the Southall service can leave with the ticket leaving the staff on 6Z18
With D1013 still being worked on, D1062 marooned at Kidderminster and D821 away from the Valley, it was left to D1015, still running with the railtour alternate identities of D1010 and D1058, to fly the hydraulic flag.

Rainford Junctions signalman receives the token, for the single line section to Kirkby, from the driver of 142 051 as it draws towards Rainford station working 2J62 to Blackburn.
Pantyfynnon South Signal Box in Carmarthenshire, is a GWR box of GWS design that dates back to 1892 when it had 49 levers. It is a Grade II listed building and clearly has been looked after judging by its current condition. The box controls the entire length of the Heart of Wales line up to Craven Arms in Shropshire using a "No-Signalman Token Remote" signalling system developed in the 1980s to reduce running costs on lightly used single track railways in rural areas. It also allows single freight train access along the Amman Valley Branch. The line was reopened in 2009 for coal trains running to Gwaun Cae Gurwen open cast coal mine (East Pit) run by Celtic Energy. I am told the signal box will remain in service until 2020.
The driver of an Arriva Trains Wales single unit Sprinter, 153323, on the Swansea to Shrewsbury service, is seen collecting the token from the signalman for the onward journey to Craven Arms.
Church of St. Thomas à Becket. Dodbrooke Devon,
The village of Dodbrooke could have derived its name from a Saxon thane called Dodda. Under Saxon law, no man could hold this office unless there was a place of worship on his land. This did not need to be a church: it was sometimes a wayside cross round which Christians gathered. The base of Dodbrooke's ancient wayside cross still exists, forming the base of the war memorial on the right of the church gateway.
If there was a Saxon church on this site, no trace of it remains.
The present building ,constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings under slate roofs, was built in the 15c, replacing an earlier Norman church.
There is reason to believe that this earlier church dedicated to Thomas A Becket, martyred in 1170, was built by one of his murderers William de Tracy, who owned land stretching from about a mile up the Totnes road to a little south of where the present church stands. Certainly the surviving Norman font is of this date www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/z53601S7GB
The present church is Perpendicular in style, and consists of a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, and embattled west tower with six bells. The 14c tower was once topped by a spire, but this was removed in 1785.
The nave and south aisle date from c 1450 although the pillars and window tracery are simpler than some elsewhere because of the hardness of the granite from which they are carved. Each pillar in the southern arcade is a monolith and is said to have been brought from Hay Tor on Dartmoor.
The capitals of the pillars in the chancel are more ornate than those in the nave, and may be later, but their remarkable decoration reminds us that splendour increases as one approaches the altar. One of these capitals shows the Lacy Knot, the token of Bishop Lacy of Exeter who died in 1455, and thus gives a clue to the date of this part of the church. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/6115qKSk69
The north aisle was once owned & maintained by the Champernownes of Dartington who were Lords of the Manor for many years. In the 17c the family allowed the aisle to fall into disrepair and eventually it had to be pulled down. The rest of the building was however well restored .
in 1886 / 1887 the people of Dodbrooke seized the opportunity to rebuild the north aisle and luckily for them, the church of South Huish, near Malborough, had fallen into disuse and ruin and its pillars and arches were brought here to form the northern arcade. Although it fits in well, one can see that this arcade is different from that in the south. At about the same time the west window was brought from South Pool. The chancel was also rebuilt The ceiling of the south aisle was taken down at the same time, exposing the oak roof, which has some fine carving and bosses.
The 15c porch probably replaced one from the earlier church. The inner doorway is earlier, and may be that of the original. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/6DggxL9Xac
The late 15c / early 16c rood screen survives though partly destroyed in 16c , the central portion having been restored in 1897 by Harry Hems with the addition of a finely carved oak cornice, and a cross between angels over the central doorway. At the same time the north aisle portion was added. The cornice was copied from that in Combe-in-Teignhead church, and the angels from two on the reredos of St. Alban's Cathedral On the shields on the screens are recorded the names of all the incumbents of the parish from 1327 to modern times. . The groining is gone. There are paintings of saints on the lower panels, these have been repainted, but some of them are copies of the old. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/s6wp1873wt
An organ was built in 1874 at a cost of £210, defrayed by subscription, &c.
A window in the aisle is filled with stained glass, representing the Adoration of the Magi, in memory of two members of the Pearse family; the north-west window is in memory of the Harris and Phillipps families.
The registers date: baptisms, 1725; marriages, 1727; burials,
1727.
The poor have £265. a year from Sir J. Acland's charity, and 20s. left by John Peter, out of the tithes of Cornworthy. The parish lands vested in 1640, for the reparation of the church, &c., comprise twelve tenements.
Running some 13 minutes late, the driver of TfW Class 170 No. 170203 exchanges the token with the signalman at Tondu working the 13:29 to Cardiff Central via the Glamorgan costal route on 26th October 2022.

"J D HANCNCK II FEB 24, 1970 SON"
When I was three years old my parents went to Chicago to visit one of my dad's air force buddies. My dad brought back this personalized token from a museum there. It was certainly not his first gift to me, but nevertheless I think of it as something I have "always" had.
The other side of the token reads, "Museum Science Industry."
The misspelling of our last name is amusing, given what a careful person my dad normally is.
This is one of many curious items collected in JD's House of Miscellany.
