Some great finds there Dave, the token was especially a good find, even if a bit oxidised. Still got a working spud gun somewhere around the house, had many hours of amusement from that as a kid. ;)
 
Thank you everyone. The token is. M Leigh. Tobacconist. George street Sydney --Britannia on the other. I have no idea of what year it might be. It came from the same area I got my first cartwheel penny so who knows. I'll put it in some oil and let it sit for a while I think. Cheers
