They are in no particular order. They consist of Civil War tokens, Hard Times Tokens,

Store Cards and a few others thrown in for good (fun factor)measure.

 

I think that I have a broad spectrum and a good representative of this era.

I tell myself that I am almost finished but I may never be finished ;)

Some are graded, most are raw.

 

Thanks for letting me share them with you and if you see something that you would

like to comment on I would love to hear it.

Even though I have collected them I am still learning.

Beautiful set of tokens!

 

The Brooklyn Hebrew Home and Hospital for the Aged, still exists, you know.
Mike... yes it does but not at the location on the token. I remember it being near Maimonides Hospital near Fort Hamilton Parkway when I was visiting an elderly relative there. Just a second, let me look it up (Jeopardy music playing in the background)...

 

Yes, the Brooklyn Hebrew Home and Hospital for the Aged is currently located on 10th Ave between 50th and 49th next to the Maimonides Medical Complex off of Fort Hamilton Parkway in Brooklyn. Since the facility has moved, I would consider it an obsolete token... if that was your comment. :sumo:

I lived on Fort Hamilton for a short time, but near the Verrazzano Bridge.

EZ, a Yankee token? I'm impressed.

 

But notice the catfish. That overrules the yankee tones and makes it acceptable in a southern man's eyes, don't you know? :devil:

Well, I received another in yesterday's mail. I haven't had a chance to look up the number on it.

I guess I will try later.

I also have a number of Condor tokens coming soon and will post those.

 

If anyone recognizes the number on this please let me know.

I just acquired a token I've never seen before and I only have the pic the seller used and it's only one side of the token, so I have no idea what's on the other side. I will post better pics, once it arrives, to include the missing side.

Here's one that I've had since I was a kid that's never been imaged.

 

This is very interesting piece from a very interesting merchant. Before Coca-Cola and well before Pepsi came along, Mathews was one of the early soft drink promoters. Mathews did not bottle soda and sell it; he made the devices that were used to make it. Mathews also produced counters where soft drink store owners could seat and serve their patrons.

 

This is the Civil War Mathews piece. He also issued other tokens after the war. I’ll have to go through my collection to find the other Mathews piece that I own. More than a decade ago I wrote an article about Mathews for “The Civil War Token Journal.”
