I am looking for a history description in the Breton book, BR-939 which is a token from British Columbia as per attached picture of one side. The other side has a picture of the late John Robson priemer of B.C.
Thanks in advance...........

pennylover1010.. Thanks very much.. Have added this to my favorites..

There was only 400 of these tokens made to be used as calling cards and then the dies were destroyed it says..

I have also found online this business listed in the business directory of 1900 with a James Waites as the locksmith.

Thanks again & appreciate your help..

This is what fascinates me about tokens. There are a maximum of 400 your particular token out there, I wonder how many people have a coin that has a population of under 400?
Not many. (except for coinsrfun of course)
And I agree, let's see the other side of your BR-939

Wow, that is in really nice shape. A bit off-center? maybe that is typical of this piece?
Thanks for sharing.
