Great Britain. J. Smith
42 Rathbone Place, London. These tokens were used in the Victorian era (c. 1850s–1880s) as a form of advertisement, especially before branded packaging became widespread. Businesses issued them to promote their products or services — often to customers or at trade fairs.
This particular token advertises two patented products:
Adhesive envelopes (an innovation at the time)
Tracing cloth, used in architectural and engineering drawings
J. Smith’s business address, 42 Rathbone Place, was in London’s Fitzrovia area, known in the 19th century for print shops and small manufacturers.
