PROFESSOR ANDRE’S ALPINE CHOIR TOKEN

Prof Andre’s Alpine Choir token Matrimonial Society oken obverse

David Pickup writes:

Here are photos of a token I bought yesterday. The inscriptions are "Prof Andre’s Alpine Choir" and "Matrimonial Society No tippler need apply". It seems to be about 1880s and cost me 50 pence!

There is plenty on the web about his Alpine Choir which did concerts for the temperance movement. I have not found who he (Prof Andre) was or what was the Matrimonial Society!

Temperance tokens are neat reminders of a bygone era. Gotta love the "No tippler need apply" slogan. So what was the Matrimonial Society? And would anyone have other information about this token? Is it catalogued anywhere? Thanks. -Editor
