captainrich Pillar of the Community United States 982 Posts	Posted 02/27/2025 8:46 pm The Pittsburgh Railways Co. When the cost of fare tokens rose from two-for-fifteen cents to three-for-a-quarter in 1919, a woman named Mary Condon Barton was working for the Pittsburgh Railways Co. as an assistant ticket agent. The 16mm fare tokens used at the time were smaller than a dime and the company needed a replacement design. Miss Barton was attending Carnegie Tech's School of Design at night and asked if she could submit a design for the new token. Carnegie Technical School was the same art school that Andy Warhol attended in the mid-1940's. Barton diligently researched the designs of fare tokens being used in other U.S. cities before coming up with the streetcar design that was accepted by the Pittsburgh Railways Co. The company immediately ordered six million of the tokens from the James H. Matthews Co., a well-known Pittsburgh diesinker and manufacturer of grave markers. The pictured token is a rare pattern design that does not include the common triangular cut-out in the center.
