This token dates from the 1920's.
The Copper-Clad Malleable Range Company of St. Louis, Missouri was in business from 1899 to 1985.
The company manufactured stoves including wood-burning, coal-burning, and gas-powered stoves.
The stoves were lined with copper as a rust preventative measure.

 

Hey all. I have something that I don't want, and don't think it has any value? I only got it because I thought there might be someone on CT that collects them? (Hey, we all collect less valuable items, sometimes, lol). Actually, it may be very valuable, I know nothing about it. Ok, mystery over. I have a Connecticut Token from the Roger Williams Mint. It's still in the cellophane, but the cellophane does have some holes and small tears in it. The token looks fine, though. I would love to find someone that really wants it, i.e. you collect them, your from Connecticut, etc? Contact me if interested. Ok, if you've read this far, it's free! Is that cheap enough?

Edit: Admin I didn't think until I had posted this. If this violates any rules, please remove. My simple mind assumed, since it was free it would be ok? Apologies if I erred.

 

OK, what is that little token, and is it worth being slabbed?

 

love the colouring, and cartwheels

 

That token is a fairly rare IOOF Lord's Prayer / George Soley medal. At 13mm, it's one of the smallest pieces I own.

But all items of my collection are worthy of Zoid's Royal Treatment.

 

Thank you, now I have learned something.

A South African store token (OK Bazaars) in brass crafted from the die of an 1842 Bank of Montreal penny token. I've added the Heritage explanation for a similar piece.



"O.K. Bazaars brass 1/2 Crown Token ND Fine, Hern-404a. 38mm. 14.16gm. Plain edge. Coin alignment. A highly unusual piece, cataloged by Hern in his Handbook on Southern African Tokens as "Generally believed to be issued by this group [OK Bazaars], however no definite proof exists." In his notes on the piece, Warren Baker stated: "Struck in a collar from dies as broad as the flan. The obv die shows much rust. It appears to have been a working 1842 die [cf. PC-1A] with the outer portion, including legend, ground off, creating the broad outer area, which shows no rust." Baker further correctly notes that it is highly unlikely that the piece was meant for use in Canada as its denomination would have been quite peculiar to the local monetary system--2/6 being shorthand for 2 Shillings 6 Pence, or a Halfcrown."

 

Excellent pieces Z. You never cease to amaze

 

I turn over lots of rocks . . . . .

Here is a little more information on those.

I ran across this Montana Territorial Centennial Octagon Slug pair and couldn't pass them up. Minted during the Montanna Territorial Centennial in 1964, this pair celebrates the Cowboy Artist Charles Marion Russell.

These are quite a bit larger than your standard octagon slug. Measuring a full 45.5mm across the flats (48mm between the points), the bronze octagon weighs in 44.3 grams and the sterling silver octagon weighs in at 55.6 grams. The silver piece is edge marked STERLING and bears the serial number #225.
