Victoria Ferry Token .... is it Australian or What?

[Humpybong]

Have located a token in a batch that I purchased and it is marked (uniface) VICTORIA FERRY  V H

I cannot locate in Smith or any other Australian Token book.  Has anyone any information about this token?





Any help would be appreciated.

I wonder if V H is for Victoria Harbour.

I wonder if V H is for Victoria Harbour.

Yes that is one possibility but need to be sure.  The lot I purchased was all supposed to be Australian.  All other ferry tokens were from Sydney and Newcastle.   This one was describes as VIC 1 from Victoria (Very Rare) but I am not sure.

So Hong Kong or Canada is possible but cannot find anything on it.

If the seller knew enough to describe it as very rare, one would assume he had some extra knowledge about it.  No luck following that avenue?

Unfortunately the seller is no longer with us.......that is why I purchased a batch of tokens.

Good work, and now for the big question. What's it worth??

I have been offered $100 so far but I think it is worth more.
