    In the late 1800's and early 1900's there were many magicians around the US and beyond doing shows on the street, fairs, festivals and anywhere to make the bucks! :D Therefore many Tokens and Medals were made as store cards. Here's one of mine made by August Roterberg. Anyone here have any? :cigar:

    I have a couple more, here's another one! :D Devil Tokens make for a nice premium, sometimes! ;) I was selling one a couple of years ago on ebay just like the one in the pic below and a prospective buyer asked me if you could perform incantations with it. I thought that was really strange, I told them I didn't know. :shame: Strange, there's all kinds of colorful people on ebay as you probably already know! laughhard.gif

    Here's an Elgin wrist watch advertising Token, 1865! :D It's actually Father Time on the Token but looks like a devil as well! :happy:
