I have nickel coloured VALUE £15.95 THANK YOU TOKEN of a similar style to the other multi-sided pieces...  I also have this piece which still glued to the thing they glued it to decades ago... I do not have the letter as mentioned.

Thanks Mr Paul Baker

That is very interesting. I wonder if this is a one off or whether there is a series of similar objects.  ???

There is another very similar at Reply #149 but single sided.

Maybe it represents a Datsun bluebird from about 1980.  ??? I wonder if they gave one away? I have seen RD keys too! :-\

Like the way the Mini is (a) parked halfway across an entrance and (b) on a yellow line. No wonder the guy seems to be removing a parking ticket from the windscreen!  :D

As to redwine's Agamemnon piece - I would bet my very-important-guaranteed-entry-in-prize-draw RD token that it is part of a series. It would seem odd otherwise to add "Mythologie grecque". I suspect that out there waiting to be discovered are some that talk of Alexander, some of Hercules, of Hector and Lysander and such great names as these... Unless, of course, the Agamemnon one was the first in a series that turned out to be a flop, though RD are quite enthusiastic when it comes to flogging dead horses.
