The 1851 New York 630-LB Telegraph Line Transfer Ticket is a rare brass token issued by Tyson & Co., a 19th-century omnibus operator in Manhattan. Measuring 27 mm in diameter, the token features "TELEGRAPH LINE" and "TYSON & Co" encircling a central floral design on the obverse, while the reverse displays "TRANSFER TICKET" above an image of a mid-1800s horse-drawn omnibus . These tokens facilitated passenger transfers between routes, streamlining fare collection in an era before electronic systems. The "630-LB" designation refers to its cataloging in the Atwood-Coffee Catalogue of United States and Canadian Transportation Tokens . Today, it stands as a tangible piece of New York City's rich transit history.
