Got up early this morning to bid on this. Only bidder...got it for 99p. Plus the extortionate postage price of £2.50.

Here it is - an advertisement for Warren's Blacking - for keeping shoes supple and shiny. The coin shows a fighting cock admiring its reflection on a gentlemans boot.

If you can look carefully you can see the obverse is a guy shaving using a boot as a mirror.

doesn't bother me too much...doesn't block the main design and holed coins are coins I can afford.

The guy has a lot of other stuff for sale I'm going for in the next few days so I wont get this in hand for a while. I like the chicken design though. Suprised it isn't a more populart token.

My only token from the uk that is not slot machine related is this one.
looks like a bit of corroded junk but I like it it was found in the cellar of a pub.
the pub it turned out used to be owned by the issuer of the token.

I like tokens in general they say a lot about the times when they were in use.

Ive also bought a macclesfield condor token. I've always wanted one and this one was at the right price (£2.50 posted):

Have you managed to identify the token? it is not easy to see in the picture. Probably 17thc at a guess? But that is as far as I can go,
Geoff.
