Here is an old token that I picked up in May 2019. It is from the 1800’s and it is a merchant token. It is from what is now known as the Bronx New York. Bronx Morrisania NY C Rivinius Merchant Trade Token Brewery The owner was Charles Rivinius and he owned a Brewery in Westchester County, in 1869 in an area that is now the Bronx. It was located at NYC East 169th street & Third Ave. it is valued at one cent. He is now buried in Woodlawn cemetery in the Bronx. Listed in Token Guides Token Catalog #245733 TC-245733 Rulau NY 40 Circa 1860-1880 This a token is considered very rare.
Neat. My daughter lives on 157 near Third Avenue. I love the old original buildings in that area. I have probably seen the location of that old brewery.
