Here it is, a witch on a broomstick from 1860! Lovett was quite the character and many of his Tokens and Medals are still in high demand today. If I had extra money, I'd love to own it, but I just don't have money like that. I'll leave this one for the collectors with deep pockets! https://www.ebay.com/itm/203635963533?hash=item2f69a6368d:g:~AQAAOSwv2xhV23D
Over $1100 !! I would never buy this for that Price, but then again , I'm no token expert or any expert for that matter .
I hear you, it's a lot of money to pay for a Token for sure! Hayden has nice offerings for sale this time, I mean he always has the best but this time he has several I'd like to own! https://www.ebay.com/sch/stevehayden/m.html?item=203635773387&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
That is sure a pretty high price but then that is sure a nice token. After all, Halloween is in three weeks.
Yep, nice Halloween gift for someone! Only 4 hours left and the price is the same as it's been, $1108.00! What I'm wondering is what is in the witches right hand? Is that a hot dog on a stick??
Notice the words on both sides-we all have our hobbies and dedicated to coin and medal collectors. In the 1800’s this was a way of saying pursue and enjoy your hobbies. Of course a witch can’t ride a broomstick, even they would admit to that. The broomstick was used like a modern day hobby horse. Put it between your legs and giddy up. So called witches used items like nightshade, hemlock and other deadly herbs and spices. Not for drinking or eating but for creams and salves to heal. They would stir their brew with a stick similar to what she is holding in her right hand. As it was wet they would shake the stick. I can’t explain it any better than that do I hope that helps. This token was made in German silver, v Copper and one other medal that escapes me at the moment. (I’m cooking dinner). All three metals are considered rare to very rare. No more than 150 of each are known to exist. Less than 50 of one of them is know so they are rare and highly sought after. I would love to own one but I’m into to many other things. Hope this helps. Even though the price is high, it’s worth it.
