Jewish Old Folks Home
 
The original site of a home to care for aging members of Toronto’s Jewish community was at 21 Cecil Street, in downtown Toronto. This 35mm copper token, Fig. 11, would seem to have been a receipt for a contribution of 25 cents to the home. The inscription: Jewish Old Folks Home – Toronto: Contribution 25 cents (house façade) 25 cents / The Only Jewish Home / For the Aged / In / Ontario.  
 
The reverse, Fig. 12, shows a profile of an elderly man on the left, facing the profile of another elderly man on the right, and the words, Keep Me Up And You Will Have Good Luck.
 
There is a similar token, Fig. 13, in aluminum. Instead of the amount of 25 cents, the donation is $1.00. This meant that the donor gave a “brick” toward the construction of the home.
