Exonumia souvenirs - Casino Chips

We went on a cruise the week before the FUN show in January. (The wives were invited to come-along on the New Year's cruise but they opted to stay home). Here are a couple souvenirs from the ship's casino. :hail:

I have a small collection of casino chip too Collect89 but I'm not really a hardcore collector...just things I picked up over the years. I have a few from a Royal Caribean cruise I took last year. I like yours better...more colorful.

Shoot Collect89, I don't know how ya pulled that one off. Never would have worked with my wife.......

 

You are not thinking outside of the box.

I had a nice cruise, some beach time, and a coin show to attend. What activities do you suppose the wives coordinated while the men were away? :devil:

 

My dad was a tailor but never had the chance to win a prize medal!

 

Dad was a Tailor? Struck a chord with me Yarm......something that resides in the deep dark recesses and memories of times long past and lost........

Ordering and receiving these are fast compared to the time required to photograph.

Anyways, here are a few more samplings from recent acquisitions.

I regret not saying that i have a small collection of pop out coins. i love them.

 

I have a small collection of counterstamped Masonic coins, some full overstrikes on Lincoln Cents and some just individual symbols on copper or silver coins. I just picked this one up last week. It's on a 32mm coin of some type...I can't make out any detail. I didn't notice it at first, but after looking at the coin closer I realized that the symbol and lettering are all applied by individual punches. Whoever did the work was very good. The obverse is a little rough, but the only indication I can find of seperate punches on the reverse is a slight double strike on the symbol and on the "5" of "305".
I didn't find much history on J.G. Norton. Apparently he was in the mining business as he was the co-founder of the Medina Lime Corp. in 1914 in Shelby, NY. The reference to Syracuse indicates Norton's home town, not the location of the Lodge. Central City Lodge was (and still is) located in Fayetteville, NY about 10 miles east of Syracuse. I couldn't get any information as to when it was organized. This token probably dates back to about 1900 or a bit earlier.
