depicting the Mens Guild of the Blessed Sacrament for the Mill Hill region
of Blackburn, England. Please see scan. The medal comes complete with
ribbon, suspender bar and pin all of which are in excellent condition. The
scan of the front of the medal is not very good, take no notice of this.
The medal has a nice even tone. The front of the medal shows a picture of
St. Peter in chains. The legend states ST. PETER IN CHAINS MILLHILL
BLACKBURN. The reverse shows a religious cross with sunburst design. The
legend here states MENS GUILD OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. A nice medal |

Three Blackburn, UK Transit Tokens
These three tokens were used in Blackburn, England. The red is for a 1D
fare, the black is for a 5 D fare, and the grey is for a 6D fare.
According to the Smith Catalog of World Transportation Tokens, Most people
in the UK never used any transportation tokens. They were struck in limited
number and the plastic tokens, such as the one here, were used by city,
county and government employees. Sometimes individual agencies would order
their own tokens, but more often they would order similar tokens in
different colors for the different agencies. Most school tokens were for
private or special schools.
As of the publication of the Smith's encyclopedia, most of the pre-decimal
tokens (those with a D indicating value) were destroyed after 1971. "Most
pre-decimal celluloid and plastic tokens exist in less than 200 each in
collector's hands. The pre-decimal celluloid and plastic tokens have a
rarity of rarity R4 [121-600 known] to Rarity R10 [one known]." (I assume
that the token offered here is R4.)

1891 BLACKBURN ANGLERS PROTECTION SOCIETY CUP
This is a really beautiful cup or trophy dating from 1891. It is
magnificently detailed and engraved. Approx 9.5 " tall and in good
condition, I can't find any maker's mark or any identifying marks on it, so
I'm assuming it's silver plate and it looks like it once had a gold wash
over it. There has been an old repair to the neck see the detailed photo
below. It reads as follows on one side; "Given by the Blackburn Anglers
protection Society No.1." Then on the other side; "B.A.P.S. No. 1 won by
James Hesmondhalgh at Salwick 1890 & 1891." Once again, this is a beautiful
Victorian Cup that is a pleasure to look at, with only some light scratches
and minor imperfections, other than the repair.
