Tann sales 'token' ?

Safeone

Got this and a few other safe curios off e-bay. Believe it is some form of sale token given out at exhibitions or sales venues, better than a keyring or pen, just wondered if anyone else has seen such a thing.

Yes, Safeone, they turn up from time to time. They made sure that there would be no confusion with the address of John Tann who incidentally also had a 5 Guinea safe which was almost identical but I don’t know who copied who.

I eventually found an illustration of John Tann’s 5 Guinea safe but you’ll have to look pretty hard
to find it - extreme lower left.

Towards the right is an intersting specimen - it’s a Boudoir version of their Jewel Quality safe with stand.

Approximate date 1900.

Love the detail, they even put the serial number detail on the end of the bolt!
