    Here's a couple new ones from my Indian token collection. It's just a small sub-category of my collection. Also, a Temperance token, anti-drinking token from right around 1855, I think. A Tom Thumb and watch token s-l1sioux600.jpg . ~Cheers!

    A few cherrypicking selections from The Great Exonumia Bulk Bag (Part 3)

    Here are just a few more 10c cherrypicking items from that big sack of tokens and stuff I got a few years ago. This is about it, for the stuff I bothered to image. There was a lot more of it, of course. In fact, I think I still have remnants of that bag around here somewhere.

    Lincoln Centennial medal, 1909, by the New York Sunday American.

    This one's pretty self-explanatory, I guess.

    Interesting spiel marke tokens.

    Unless that one in the middle is a 1906-D aluminum pattern for a $10 Eagle. Haha.

    [​IMG]

    A watch fob from the Exposition Universelle de Paris in 1889, which of course was the event for which the Eiffel Tower was built.

    And an interesting WW1 military reunion token from 1931. The watch fob is about 31 mm in diameter, i.e. roughly half-dollar sized.

    NY World's Fair medal from 1939. Met Life. Nice n' shiny, too.

    [​IMG]

    Some of those ubiquitous little "California Gold" token fantasies, circa mid-20th century (1950-'60-ish?).

    A few of these were nice and bright with full gilt. Others were more brassy looking.

    I'll bet you brick-and-mortar dealers despise these things, and curse their makers every time somebody brings "Grandma's treasure" into the shop and forces the dealer to be a dreamkiller.

    A cute, tiny little Washington gilt medalet with the Lord's Prayer on it.

    These were from some exposition, if I recall correctly. But was it the 1892-93 Columbian Exposition or the 1903 Louisiana Purchase one? I don't remember. I think the latter.

    BRandM Counterstamp Collector

    I had a pretty good day on Thursday at the Baltimore coin show. I picked up a nice ANA medal, three pieces of NJ obsolete currency and this great old counterstamp.

    The coin is an 1801 Large Cent, and a nice clean, evenly worn example. The counterstamp is in a very old style, and probably was added when the coin was new or nearly so. "P Stow" is listed in Rulau and Brunk with no attribution by either. They both list my coin as the only example known so far, so this issue is probably unique.

    The hard but fun part is finding out who Stow was. The style looks to be that of a tool maker, iron monger, blacksmith, or something similar. Since the workmanship is crude, we're not looking for a silversmith, or any fine metal craftsman. One detail that makes his stamp different than any I've ever seen, is the use of three periods or dots after his initial. Often in the early years of counterstamping the period after an initial was added half way up the letter, not at the base as is seen in later years. The dot style may help in identifying Stow.

    I'll post the pic of my ANA medal later. Thanks for looking.

    The Chicago Merchandise Mart Bank made this encased cent in the 1950's, note the 1950's style telephone number.

    The Merchandise Mart building is a large Chicago building and was owned by the Joseph Kennedy family of Massachusetts from 1945 to 1998.

    It was the family's major source of funds for their activities during that period.
