<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 354191, member: 2100"]The id for your token is OK 5388. I counted 170 different die photos of the tablet with series of letters style, but none of them matched your token. King's book was copyrighted in 1930 (reprinted in 1981), so it is not too surprising that dies have been made since the book was release.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tokens such as this are also referred to as a Freemanson "Mark Penny". When a member of the Fraternity receives a Mark Penny, it is supposed to be inscribed with his own particular "mark". These marks, once selected, are placed on record, never to be changed, and are to remain as that member's "mark" until the day of his death. The Mark Penny is not a mere ornamental appendage of the degree, but is a Sacred Token of the rites of friendship and brotherly love. Members cherish these highly, and do not ordinarily part with them in their lifetime. Most Chapters will refuse to exchange or supply specimens to anyone who is not a bona fide member of their Chapter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
