Turks & Caicos, lot of 4 brass merchant tokens for the West Caicos Sisal Company in denominations of 6 pence, 1 penny and 1/2 penny (ca. 1900), all salvaged, rare. Lyall-522, 524 and 525. 16.0 grams total. Manufactured by Quints and Sons in Philadelphia, these plain tokens with incuse lettering on both sides were used to pay for labor and exchanged for goods at the company store. Like most (if not all), these specimens show signs of immersion in salt water, the 6d and 1d reddish and very lightly corroded but the 1/2d a nice patinated bronze with light tan sediment in the letters (excellent contrast).
