    It's a ration token from WWII era. They also come in blue as I had one given to me as a young lad to add to my collection of coins.

    I had to explain to US Customs once that people still used Suet and powdered custard when I took some Atora and Birds Custard over to my cousin who lives in California. They listened to half of it and let me go through anyway even though you're not allowed to take meat products into the US.

    Just thought I'd bore you with that...

    There were many "safety coffins" designed and patented during the 1800's. What was the most common 'safety' component/setup used?

    No - but I will insert a disclaimer that if you think you are right and can put up a link to a decent source saying that what you said was the "most common", I'll accepts it

    I was only joking before didn't know what a safety coffin was.

    Is the component a rope and bell tied to the deceased limbs?

    Yes - setup in an very interesting fashion, fed through a tube, filled with gauz to stop the smell coming out and bugs getting in, to the surface and hooked up to a bell that would not be affected by wind or birds landing on it - as the thaught of digging up a false alarm would have put most grave diggers off their dinner. I don't believe there are any records of one actually being used, but about 20 designs were patented.
