CONNECTICUT - Bristol
Lot 157: NEW / DEPARTURE // E 10½, (Bristol), wm rd 14mm. Unlisted! Whatzit? G5-

Nice color (I like blue). -Editor

Lot 624: The Invisible Empire

Lot 624: THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE / (knight on horse)

I don't believe in whitewashing history, so I don't think these tokens should be banned from the marketplace, such as Nazi items are barred in places. I've left out much of the text to help appease spam filters. -Editor

Lot 651: Mechanicville Archery Club

MISCELLANEOUS - NY, Mechanicville
Lot 651: (engraved coin) V nickel with fine engraving on obverse: MECHANICVILLE ARCHERY CLUB, (NY).

Interesting way to cross-purpose a coin as a medal. Not exactly a Hobo nickel, but unusual. -Editor
