Clock Token Issuer: Harvey R. Caberey

"H.R.C." is HARVEY R. CABEREY (b. Oct. 15, 1822, Cornwall, Orange County, NY - d. between 1892 and 1896, Chicago. IL).

Caberey moved to Chicago 1849 after marrying 1844 in NY, Ruth Whatley (b. 1826, New Jersey - d. @ 1905, Chicago,IL)

Sherwood & Whatley were Chicago firm of silversmiths, jewelers, watchmakers. [Smith Jones Sherwood & Eli Whatley were partners who made/retailed coin silver, not sterling silver, objects late 1840's - 1850's.].

In 1855, Caberey took over firm Sherwood &Whatley until selling out 1862. Then Caberey manufactured and dealt military goods. Then he sold Masonic regalia etc. until his death.

Sherwood & Whatley had an establishment at Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, with a clock outside. That clock indicated the Standard Time kept by the railroads which rail passengers were advised to consult.

Thus the token imagery is explained and it can be dated between 1855 and 1862 probably. Not explained is what token used for although would seem to indicate a receipt for an item.

Pabitra Saha says the coin display the logo of the summit, which he provides here. In color, it makes some sense. I was right about the superimposed maps, but couldn't see the lion. Nice, but not a good base for a coin design.
