UNITED STATES:Album-SBA.76A, VF, California, Santa Barbara County, San Miguel Island, brass token, 25mm, W.G. Waters "one sheep" token, pierced (as issued), discolored, R. "Fichas [Sp., tokens] were used on both Santa Cruz and San Miguel islands as a means of keeping track of the numbers of sheep sheared by individual shearers. When a vaquero had sheared a sheep, he wrapped the fleece into a bundle, tossed it on to a broad shelf to be packed into a sack by the packer, and received a ficha from el fichero to keep tab on the number of sheep he had shorn. His pay would depend on the number of fichas collected each day during the shearing season." (from islapedia.com).
