Default Bats pay it forward

I know there is an "official" pif thread and i am not dissing it but i do have my own idea of the spirit and meaning so here goes mine,

I have no rules about giving to get, and i dont care who you are or if you like or hate me,
Tina scored me another metal typer for Christmas and the last couple days i have been cleaning and adjusting this 80yo machine, i really do love this old antique stuff.








These are blem test tokens the ones i make for people are not blems and look a bit better but are still 30 to 50 yo tokens.

I am offering the first 5 people a free mailed to them token typed with whatever they desire,
They hold a total of 32 spaces, however one space on long messages must be reserved so the end doesnt run into the start, so 31,
The colors are gold, sliver, red, blue, green,
I use them on things ranging from jacket zipper pulls to on my boot, and even as key chains, so there is a car, vette connection.

To get one kindly email me at the13bats@aol.com, thread replies or PMs do not count,
Please Include your message, color choice and address you desire it mailed to.

Give me one day to one week to get it out to you,

Happy holidays merry Christmas and a wonderful new year to all.

Cheers
B

I have 2 spots left, i replied via received email.to the first 3.

And this machine has had a fairly easy life as far as these machines go,
It was in trenton NJ area a few decades, owned by a church, used only one weekend a year.
before that who knows.

Thanks Bats. I remember these. What I also remember is that they rarely lined up very well. Thanks Ike
