What a wonderful token Stef! Nicely preserved and toned!
Here's more information on Horace Maitland Grant from John Nicholas Joseph Lupia, III:
I have become slightly smitten by hardware store tokens. There are some really nice OLD ones, but they are hard to get.
This one is from an establishment in Denver Colorado it seems. I picked this one up, but am now looking for a Lowe's, a Home Depot, and an Ace Hardware to go along with it.
I found it funny that a hardware store would be associated with a boarding house, but maybe they were stocking some exotic wood . . . . .
.
.
All the good stuff seems to be coming out of Colorado these days.
.

(I know this post is gonna get me booted, I just know it.)
This is more of a medal than a token, however it was struck at the Carson City Mint in '76.

I have no idea what this token represents but it is a bit odd.
My late first wife had epilepsy. When an epileptic has a grand mal seizure it scares the hell out of people, so they tend to shun the epileptic. Among children this can be exceptionally cruel.

I forgot to add what @tokenpro said about this token.
. That horsecar was a very good buy, especially taking the grade into consideration. It is much scarcer than the smaller size brass horsecar (but not the larger size brass). I wouldn't be surprised if it came out of one of the Scoville accumulations that popped up about 20-25 years ago. All of the horsecar tokens that use that stock reverse die were made by Scoville.
How about some Canadian Bank Tokens, Still popular and expensive as ever.....at least for the ones I want.

In field: Eagle to left, shield on breast, radiant oval of 13 stars above, arrows in right talon, olive branches in left talon, a scroll from bottom to top of shield inscribed, LEFT, EPLURISE to right, UNUM.

Two very well documented pieces. Made byLauer, Nuremburg Germany as the lettering is typical Lauer. Those familiar with Lauer’s work will recog- nize the Liberty head and the eagles.
I’ve only been able to@find a graded MS61 in John Ford Auctions. So it very may be the highest graded or known.

The Russian beard tokens are very cool and super duper expensive. I\even the restruck ones run high.
I’ve searched for a reasonable price for for almost 15 years. Looking back I should have ponied up because they are crazy now!
Leave to the Csardas to say okay you can have your beard but you must pay a tax!. Don’t pay shave clean and that’s that

Here is an interesting high school reunion token I received recently. It was created by Ron Landis of Gallery Mint Museum.
I first saw this piece in Vern Walfren's GMMNut website. When it came up for adoption, I had to have it.
What's most cool about it is it's size. At 28mm it's over 50% larger than a Lincoln Cent. It will make for interesting "size comparisons.
I have a George Soley medal I need to photograph next to it.
