Muni token wine stopper, FTW
Well, happy freakin’ birthday to me. Over the weekend, a friend gave me this early bday gift: a Muni token wine stopper. Some guy in Sacramento makes wine stoppers with various items like this at the top, and my friend happened to notice this gem. Oddly, she thought I might like it.
It reminds me how some people think I’m a little more into Muni than I actually am. Don’t get me wrong — editing Muni Diaries is a total joy. And ephemera like Muni tokens make me happy. But, it’s not like I’m obsessed or anything …
Thank you, Jill!
Do you have any idea who this man in Sacramento is? I would love to get some as a gift for friends!
All I could find out is that he goes by “Chip.” I don’t think he has a site. He sells at street fairs and such, according to my friend.
Muni Diaries is fast becoming irrelevant. Notice no comment here after ‘2 hours’ of being posted. Muni riders in this city are hungry for stories relevant to the current Muni situation.
Shucks – thanks for checking!
This is also predicated on wanting to stop drinking a bottle of wine mid-way. But a sweet sentiment all the same.
“stop” and “drinking” are two words i don’t understand when used in the same sentence.
That’s not a Muni token; it was issued by the old Market Street Railway Company; see http://www.munidiaries.com/2011/05/25/old-muni-fare-tokens/
