St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a round metallic token with a central cut-out design, featuring the inscriptions “C R & L” along the top and “LINES” along the bottom. In the middle of the token, within the cut-out, there are smaller letters that read “CRL CO.” The surface of the token displays a textured pattern, creating a visually interesting effect against the metallic sheen. This type of token might have historically served as a fare or access token for a transportation system, such as a bus or rail line. The deep purple background enhances the contrast, making the token's details stand out prominently.
