    I have two tokens.

    One is made from copper and says "Newkom Bros Good for 5c loaf bread".

    The other one is "Good for one hunter boy 5c cigar" and is made from aluminum.

    Type in "Hunter Boy Cigar" into google, no results.

    Type in "Newkom Bros" or "Newkom Brothers" into google, no results.

    Sound like store card tokens. I see them often and most of them don't get above a few bucks apiece.

    I checked the Standard Catalog of United States Tokens 1700-1900 and didn't find them. The closest I got was Newman & Bros. and Hunter Tool Co.

    So does that mean that they are rare? (not in price but to find).
