Was able to get to a local park here in White Plains, for a quick one-hour hunt, and came up with a token from the 1930's, some clad, and a security badge. Found the following info on the token: "[FONT="]Oldetyme Distillers, Inc. of New York City initially distributed Green River Whiskey tokens in the mid-30's. The tokens were used as a form of cheap advertised in magazines for magicians, and thus are called "Magic Tokens," and others were probably used as "point of sales" items in liquor stores.[/FONT][FONT="]There are perhaps as many as twenty different die varieties of the specimens known to exist. That is, there are several artistic changes on the pieces, although the basic images and brand logos are essentially alike. It is difficult to identify the differences with language alone, and pictures are necessary to show the differences. Some of the token varieties are a little more available than others. They all are worth something, but -- in the main -- are not worth a whole lot. The tokens are all made of the same metal composition - brass."

It was such a beautiful day today, and I was on the pity pot, worried about this and that. I told Kate I was going up to Battle Hill for an hour and I was going to put my phone on Airplane Mode. Visited with my therapist, Dr. M. Vanquish, Suite 540, for an hour. Came out of his office feeling much, much better!
You Rock!
