Token Coin
I would like to know what coin or token this is?
I have a coin but cannot read the first word as there is a hole in the middle of the word under that word are the words "is good paint" Can anyone tell me more about this token?
Without a picture, there's no chance of identifying it. It's definitely a token, not a coin.

Very Old
How can I clean a very old, almost cracked piece of leather?
I need to clean a very old, worn out piece of leather, actually clean and try to restore it as best possible. Are there any products or techniques I can use to keep it as intact as possible?
Go to a tack shop (horse supplies) and buy saddle soap. You rub it in, then wipe it off. It will clean and condition the leather. It may darken the color a little.
Best of luck.

Saint Florian
Patron Saints...?
My husband is an EMT (soon to be a paramedic) and I'm looking to get him a Patron Saint necklace for Christmas. I have looked everywhere and gotten conflicting information on which Saint is the Patron Saint of EMTs or Paramedics. I was wondering if anyone knew for sure which Saint pendant I should get him. I know that once he's a firefighter I'll be buying him a St. Florian, but that won't be for 2 yrs or so. Please help me if you can. Thanks a lot.
Yes I have googled...and gotten conficting information. And yes he does want the necklace, he has asked before when I was going to get him a Saint necklace.
Thank You all very much. I just ordered him a St. Michael Pendant.
I googled as well and I keep getting the same answer.
St. Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of sick people and police officers. Other sources list St. Michael as the patron saint of EMTs and paramedics. His feast day is September 29.

Medieval Art
Medieval art and architecture of england?
I wasn't very into arts, but please give me information about Medieval art and architecture of england, what are the different styles and influences and important points
Definitely a very strong Catholic and eventually a Protestant influence. But It was also a very dark time in Europe in general. With the plague running ram-pit. also Vikings were doing a lot of raiding of European countries
