Wow Stefanie, those are very nice looking pieces. (thumbs u

 

Chris, I was the one that posted that medal under new acquisitions with the seller's images though. I wanted to post it here to revive this thread but also see what folks though about how to conserve the bronze medal to bring out the original look or if that is even a good idea.

 

Thanks Rey

I know nothing about this token, I got it because it was inexpensive and California Tokens are hard to find:

Toad, I hate to bust your bubble, but this is not a California token.

 

It was produced for the White Brothers & Co. of Boston, Mass. It is one of the most common tokens of the 1890's. They were produced in brass, copper and copper/nickel and all are 26mm. The "simulated" Arabic -script surrounding the horseshoe was only intended as ornamentation.

 

It is still a nice token!

This medal was produced for the Universal Exposition of 1889. I can't be sure who designed it because there are three possible names listed. Two others died well before the medal was produced.

 

Jean-Baptiste Barre, b. 1807

Jean Auguste Barre, b. 1811, eldest son of Jean Jacques Barre

Aristide Barre, b. 1840

Here is one of my latest Railway related acquisitions. The Silverton Durango Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado was and still is the only Narrow Gauge in the US offering regularly scheduled passenger service. I rode on this when I was a child with my parents and still have the pictures, It is a beautiful journey through the mountains of this area of Colorado.

How about these?

How about this one also designed by Daniel Carr?

 

 

[cpm9ball]

There is no question that Daniel is very talented, but I think that he should consider changing his proposed name of the coinage from AMERO to AMNESTY, considering all of the illegals we have in this country.

My newest addition to the Railway Set. The 1825 to 1925 Railway Centenary Medal. Obverse portrays Edward Pease, chairman and guilding influence in the managment of the first public railway, and of George Stephenson who built the first engine on the railway, and actually drove it on its historic journey on September 27th, 1825. There are also shownt he coats-of arms of Stockton and Darlington, the two towns between which ran the world's first passenger train, the arms of Stockton being on the left.

 

The reverse protrays a figure of Vulcan holding in his hand "Locomotion No.1" the first engine to be employed on a public railway, with, in the background, one of the London and North Eastern Railway Company's famous 1925 type "Pacific" express locomotives. The medal measures 3 inches in diameter.
