Turns out, this was made in 1965. bummer.
Tokens...Tokens...and More Tokens

By far my Niftiest Token, This 1933 Token is from Ford and it celebrates the "Thirty Years of Progress" they have made since 1903. It seems to be either a defective token, or someone hit JUST the edge of it with a really smooth hammer against a very smooth surface. Found this one in a Chicago Park with my then "new" Sovereign...a '37 Mercury was lying right beside this Token. Dates on front read 1903 and 1933. (the year it was made....)..Given away during the 1933 Worlds Fair. |

Bud...Bud...Bud...Weiser! A Token that almost gave me a heart attack. It shines impressively like a Gold coin would....dang it. No Story here except that they are now using Boron Dating on their beer for anybody interested.... |

Hmmmmm...I don't remember finding this one...It's possible that my wife found it and stuck it in "our" jar. No Story here, I guess...(She is at school right now....I'll ask 'er when I can...) |

A little religious Token found in the Big Airport Expansion neighborhood housing that was torn down in Louisville. From Noroton, Conn. also states "With God, All Things Are Possible". I hope God will stay on my side for me to find that elusive Gold Coin.... |

Anybody remember Red Goose Shoes? I do..I remember getting to go to the big Egg and getting a little one outta it for a surprise...Sorta made going on the Shopping trip with Mom a little easier for this little 7 year old boy. |

Ouch...Gouged this one digging it....Ol' Burger Chef...Not quite sure what happened to ol' Burger Chef...I was a kid when they were around, and we stopped there frequently for a toy or two as I was growing up.... |

Found This one in Loiusville on Phillips Lane near the Fairgrounds. Just out hunting a house or two. Caught this one as I was leaving...again!! Seems like I get sorta lucky around "time to go" time. |

A Mardi Gras Token from 1983....These were very plentiful , I am sure. No details on where or when...I've forgotten. ooops. |
|
Shell Gas Stations "Presidents" game. Found this one in the old Prestonia
Neighborhood in Louisville as well. This one had me excited as well...It was covered up
real good, and all I could make out was the date on the right-hand side.....1865.... Turns out, this was made in 1965. bummer. |

A Token I found whilst detecting in Central Park in Louisville, KY. Found this sweetheart while I was ground balancing my Big Bud Pro.... |
