Title: And Then There Were 3 Post by: Val Beechey on August 30, 2015, 08:26:33 PM Couldn't believe my eyes when another of these things turned up, and then another, so now I've got 3, and I still don't know what they are.
All 3 have the same cross on the back but the 2 latest have different letters. 1 x Y and 1 x N. The 1st one has a G. If anyone has any ideas please shout.

Title: Re: And Then There Were 3 Post by: probono on August 30, 2015, 09:16:26 PM I was thinking of these tokens as I was looking at tokens (the nice 1811/1812 silver series) and came across several like these (although without the holes) on fleabay - described as 'farm / hop' tokens, in lead.
Title: Re: And Then There Were 3 Post by: Val Beechey on August 30, 2015, 10:59:19 PM Look forward to comparing your 'token' to mine Chris.
Bampy your suggestion sent me off on a search for Telegraph Pole info. and guess what, there's actually a Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society. (Don't some peeps have strange hobbies ::) ) As far as could see the disks they used were not at all like mine, but thanks for the suggestion. Plus I think my disks may be older than the Telegraph. Probono I was inclined to think my first find had to be a Farm token but now I wonder if maybe they were educational. I'll have to go search out a few more and see if they have the rest of the alphabet on them. Always nice to find something unusual.
