Victorian Gaming Token



This High Grade Victorian Gaming Token is of quite a rare variety. No date and also has plenty of lustre.

“’Keep Your Temper’ is a reminder to the players – especially to the men – to keep their emotions in check and to abide by the rules of the game”.

Probably made by Thomas Kettle (1830's) as his were the first to portray a woman playing.
