Uniface.

A key token in the Hard Times series! In PCAC 2001 Marcus Collection, #344, a VF with weakness on the right side was sold for $3795.00.

(H. Joseph Levine, PCAC, The Charles Litman Collection, December 6, 2003)

The token is attributed to C.W. Bender of Philadelphia, the proprietor of the Star Hotel at 71 Dock Street. When this number [from the John J. Ford collection] was offered in Ken Rendell’s 1958 price list, he suggested only four or five were known. This token was missing from such major collections as the 1924 Hesslein sale, the 1922 Ten Eyck sale and the 1912 Levick sale by Elder. The offering of three pieces of the C.W.B. token in one sale [the John J. Ford collection] is unique.
