Pathé coin op token
Looking on ebay for Yale Automatic Cashier or Wonder Clock tokens and came across a few of these Pathé tokens--interesting, wonder how many other mechanical music machines used there own brand name tokens instead of coinage?

Re: Pathé coin op token
Thanks... found one in Idaho and snagged it. I originally searched for Pathé token and came up empty, but using your wording it came right up. Probably as close as I'll come to getting one of those big Pathé coin-ops...
