Circus Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 In printing they were called dingbats, a little device to fill space and give visual interest. I think it is just to fill the one lobe so it wouldn't seem off balanced. I had thought that it the shape was a clover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 what looks to be an early advertising token.Since there is no in trade or good for or cash value on it. This is the first one of that type I have seen.This is one of my favorites of the lot that I found. Can't explain why but the combination of devices on the faces are pleasing to me. Probably a genric style arcade token. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 You've got quite a few of these "trade" tokens. Any idea on the number of different tokens in your collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Over 1,000 not counting traders and dupes. Just received the 2x2 safeT pages to mount the safe T flips in. But like everything else time,time life does get in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yes I believe I have seen it in one of their plastic blue boxes somewhere, and it was a celebration piece from the mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Nice tokens again. I like the star cutout. I wonder if that was a cancellation punch of some kind. Neat palmolive soap token too. Still would be a nice thing these days. Soap has gotten pretty pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have seen a number of tokens with stars and hexagons in the center. Since it was for a local theater I think it would be easier if they just stoped accecpting them then having them cancelled. And yes the soap ones are great have something to go with the antique bars of soap I found cleaning out my parents house. To bad it isn't the same brand.

Art1.2 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Neat old soap bars. It is too bad they don't match the token. Nice other tokens too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
