Circus Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Have no idea why the tokens are on a lead wire seal other than to kept them together since they are mixed states.Same both sides.And for those that may not know the numbers on the tax tokens, are not referring to cents tax. It is referring to mills which are 1/10 of a cent. Since most of these were used in the starting in the 20's/30's people balked at paying full sales tax on small value purchases.

Art1.2 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Very neat tokens. I really love the string group with the lead seal at the end of the wire. That's a great find. Anything on the lead seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Nope just the teeth marks from a pair of pliers. There were a couple of different stae tokens on the wire, must have been used to keep the holy tokens together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Neat. I guess counterfeiting wasn't much of a consideration on sales tax tokens. This is a great collection you're assembling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Very nice. I really like the soap coupon thilng. I guess they collected the coupons and then reused them. Neat idea and something that some of the modern coupon issuers should consider. Reuse being a basic principle of conservation of resource and all that.

Speaking of soap, Yesterday while sorting thru stuff in the bathroom storage closet at my mothers house I found these The older members might remember the commericals for both of these soaps in the B&W TV days.

ccg Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 The Seattle '62 medals made a neat series - the gold pieces are pricey and don't come up often, but the silver sets in whitman folders do pop up now and then and are very pretty.

Art1.2 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nice tokens. That savings bank token sure shows how times have changed. I believe we took the kids to Sunken Gardens many years ago -- like in the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabnoles Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I am jealous of the Ontario multi-metal coin I remember seeing this when I first started collecting coins (and my budget was more limited) and totally wanted it. Also Lava soap is some good soap. I remember when I played trumpet in high school they recommended lava soap for cleaning the instrument.

Art1.2 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Nice copper rounds. I haven't paid much attention to these items as I prefer to collect copper via wheaties when the mood strikes me. But I do like the designs you're showing us. Maybe a bit more attention is in order. Local coin club show in Feb is usually a good source for these items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
