    Here a token I have see every day. But don't think I posted it before my Dad had given it to me for my keys. So It's older than Me. 1945-1950 IMG_20160208_173223.jpg IMG_20160208_173258.jpg

    It isn't a token it is the dqngle from a watch fob, they are sought after among tractor collectors. Each brand has it's followers and if they can't get the tractors they want they chase anything with the likeness and brand they love.

    my uncle would have loved that. He was into tractors and any type of military machines that had tracks. He was an old school tank infantry mechanic.

    I think I have posted this token before but I believe I did so in the wrong place so now that I found this thread i'll post it here. It is a copy of a 1930 buffalo nickel smaller than a dime that I got at work. I wonder why it was copied cause I dont know any reason why it would be. buff1.jpg buff2.jpg

    I've seen dozens of the Devins & Bolton counterstamps over the years, but for some reason don't have one in my collection. D & B not only stamped Canadian coins and tokens, but U.S coins as well, especially Large Cents. Nice piece, Circus. Thanks for posting it.

    I like the coal token, Circus. I have a dozen or so in my collection but don't collect then per se. It's an interesting series though. I like the fact that yours is dated. I don't know if dated examples are common or not, but I don't think so. I'll have to look up my pieces now and see what I have.

    Yes even with the damage I like adding the coal company one to my collection, I to only pick them up when they are a good deal.
    These are items made from the soft coal of the W Va area compressed dust and white glue into molds.

    These are the carved items from Pa anthracite areas around Luzerne Pa.were my family came out of the mines.

    They are made from one chunk of coal. they made some large steam locomotives that were for sale and in the 1960's they wanted north of $1,000 plus dollars
