Lastly, here's a Howell Works Allaire NJ Rose Hard Times Token with the TOKEN struck up more fully:

    Nice group. Really like the Jersey Rose token, I think it is a R3 but you still dont see them often.

    Thanks. It came from John Kraljevich Americana and it's for my wife, Lisa - THE MUCH BETTER HALF!

    Allaire, NJ is about 40 miles from my house. The NJ tokens are very challenging. 10 years ago we had a nice Gibbs, all three Bergens, the Grapes Howell Token, and the TD Seaman token with good detail, color, and surfaces - then we bought a house and they had to go.

    nice pieces all! the Allaire works is 'still there' and a wonderful destination for a days family outing with a historic flavor.


    who knows? keep looking down, you may 'pick one up'~!
