semi centennial token

HannibalNectar · Sep 2, 2017

Can anyone show me any info on this? Clinton Massachusetts 1850-1900 semi centennial token. Its size is somewhere between a quarter and a half dollar. Ive looked and cant find another one. I did see a book accounting the day of this celebration but thats it. I know sometimes tokens like this can be worth something so id just like to know. And so far its been a mystery. Ill try to get a photo of the back because I know it has a makers mark. And off the top of my head I think it was a
JJ ROBBINS Co. Mark? Same guy who made luggage tags. But im not certain on that. so tomorrow ill get a photo of it.
Thanks

I'm going to guess that rather than being from J Robbins, luggage tag maker out of Boston it might have been made by C.M.Robbins out of Attleboro Mass, who made badges and (to a lesser extent) medals such as this.
But that's just a guess for fun, since the seeing the mark will clarify the maker. And it sure didn't help me find a match!

That's a cool token.
One of my favorites to find.
Sorry I don't know anything about your token, but you might want to post it on Richards Token Database...

I think you are right. Funny thing is that one of my favorite finds is a c m Robbins Spanish American war medal admiral Geo Dewey
