The crew of 'Dorothea' take the token for the return to Launceston. Newmills, Launceston Steam Railway, 12th October 2018.
We've used these glass tokens in various games over the years: Pente, Mancala, Magic The Gathering, etc. They remind me of the mysterious crystals from Land of the Lost.
The wife suggested I light it from underneath, because she's awesome.

1Z42 can be seen at a halt at Goonbarrow Junction Signal box whilst a token exchange happens. The photo is taken from 2Z43 which was awaiting the token from 1Z42. This sight is likely to be nearly impossible to recreate as by the next large event demanding such high number of services on the line the HST, in its current format, will no longer operate on the western. Especially with the imminent introduction of IET's onto rails west of Newton Abbot due.

These were from the Namco Arcade in the Lehigh Valley Mall. I think that arcade is still open, actually...

10 cent token from the Chain-of-Rocks Fun Fair Amusement Park located on the old Route-66 as it crossed the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri - Closed in 1977
So the MBTA was late, and I was inconvenienced. I sent them a message through their web form and asked for a refund. This is their policy - more than 30 minutes late, get a refund. It's the first thing in their Customer Bill of Rights
So, today in the mail I got a letter from MBTA and two tokens (in the mail! think of the postage!) and an acknowledgment that they had done research and concluded that on the day in question the T really had been late.
The other token was for Greg, who I was still in a relationship with IN F**KING APRIL when this happened. This was also back before most of the stops on the T took the Charlie Pass which obviates the need for the T tokens. I'm not even sure if I can use these anymore.
I assume this is some sort of "oh crap, let's get rid of these tokens tout de suite" program, though I would not be surprised to learn that it really does take them almost five months to issue refunds.

Trade tokens became widely used in the US somewhere around the time of Andrew Jackson's presidency and enjoyed popularity into the 1930’s. They were used by saloon keepers, grocers, cigar stores, pool halls, confectioners, and many other businesses. Token manufacturers would often come into a town and take a number of different business orders. Small towns may have several businesses with tokens with very similar characteristics as a result.
Trade tokens served several purposes for the business owner who distributed them. They were a form of currency when coinage was scarce. During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s drinks often sold for 15¢ or 2 for 25¢. Many times, patrons would stop in on the way home from work for a quick one. By pricing two for a quarter, the saloon owner could insure a return visit or would profit when the token was not redeemed at all. Further, these were a way to advertise the business. There are literally thousands of different tokens. I was unable to find out anymore on this particular one.......
A Class 207 (3D) unit leaves the faded grandeur of Tunbridge Wellls West on a gloomy day in 1984 with an Eridge-Tonbridge working. The signalman leans from the signalbox with the token for the driver to take for the single line to Tunbridge Wells Central.
Apart from the station building itself, all of the railway land seen here now lies beneath a supermarket and its car park.
