burglarifyoulike · May 13, 2009

i found this in WV near where an old house used to sit (100 years old at least). on one side it reads "good for 5c in trade". on the other side i can only make out what i THINK is "piano in comu___" thanks for looking and any help that can be given.

Looks to me like: piano in comuniz?

In Italy, the comune, (plural comuni) is the basic administrative division of both provinces and regions, and may be properly approximated in casual speech by the English word township or municipality.

Could it be some type of Piano Music token? http://www.crowriver.com/tokens.htm

That's what I was thinking BigC. Maybe for an old player piano or something.
BTW-it's good to be back :thumbsup:
