SILVER TRIANGULAR ENAMEL COLORED COIN-MILK DELIVERY TOKEN
Theme:
Coins for dairy
There
was a time when most people did not go to the grocery store to purchase their
milk; it was delivered to their door. Many adults today have childhood memories
of a uniformed milkman placing bottles of fresh milk on the front porch and
leaving with empty bottles their mother had put out in exchange. But there was
something else the milkman collected—dairy tokens. From the late 19th century
to the 1960's, consumers could buy dairy tokens to "pay" for the milk or
cream that was delivered. Many dairies had their own tokens. They were valued
at such quantities as ½ or 1 pint, 1, 2 or 3 quarts or ½ gallon and specified
whether the token was for cream or milk and what kind (pasteurized, Jersey, skim, etc.). Dairy tokens were used in all ten
provinces across Canada.
And although they offered customers a price advantage by pre-ordering, most
people today cherish dairy tokens for the memory they preserve—a quieter,
simpler time when the milkman came calling.
