I'm going to be bombing this thread with more military trade tokens and a military chip I've recently acquired.

Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, is where I started my Air Force career, and just about everyone else who enlisted because that's where basic training is! Today it's no longer known as Lackland AFB but Joint Base San Antonio which is a combination of US Army Fort Sam Houston, Lackland AFB, and Randolph AFB. Fun fact, Lackland gained an airstrip and a few other building when Kelly AFB closed. It's like the bases are eating each other!

Anyway, I have a few tokens that I've added to my Lackland AFB collection to share but not everything is imaged. Eventually I'll get them all done with glamour shots.





Randolph AFB, opened in 1931, has always been a pilot training base. I've completed a short set from Randolph AFB:






I do have a nice set from Kelly AFB, but no images.

And to finish things off, here's another clay chip I've added to my collection (I really love the chips!) from Loring AFB, ME:

 

So here's a pair of tokens from Yokota AB, Japan that I've acquired. They were sold as a pair but I already have the 50 cent token. If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I will gift you my duplicate. I'm not sure if this is a complete set...because...well if you've been keeping up with this thread you know my books are packed away. The good news is they're scheduled for delivery on the 16! Along with the other 8,000 lbs of stuff we own.

Anyway, here are the tokens:


I'm guessing the 25 cent token is Cunningham number JP6340c because the 50 cent is JP6340d and the $1 token is JP6340e. Both tokens are aluminum and the 50 cent is quite large at 35mm. Below is the $1:


JP6340e, aluminum, 37mm

 

Here's a couple stragglers from Lackland and Randolph:



And one from Columbus AFB, Mississippi:


This should be it for a while! Thanks for looking.

 

High relief, bright brass

 

I do hope that you all don't take this token in the wrong way as it was a sybol of good luck and happiness.
I found this and another Good luck token a few days ago, Gave 10 for both.
The one I have pictured is Scout token Version 3 Variety fits closest to C3

Above is a website to the type of tokens. The tokens were made between 1910 and 1914 with this reverse.

Piqua, Ohio Taxi Token

 

Swastikas have come up every now and again in this thread. We all know what and how they were used so no worries here.

 

Culion Leper Colony

 

A few items thrown in a coffee can over the years.

 

If you search the forum there is a really interesting thread about these tokens. I would link it but I'm on my phone right now and it's a pain.

 

I am very proud to show this one today. My cousin gave it to me this morning. It is one of two coins she received while she was in the Marines and assisted with Toys for Tots.

 

I'm not sure if I posted these here.
2 stickered silver dollars

 

Thanks for the heads up. I never thought to look. Not much info in Krause.

 

It would be a pleasure to read.
