It's called "Token Tuesday Ya'll!". Post yours as well.... Some normal and some not so much. I must also mention the 'square hole" on the Canadian Token. How'd they do that?

There are a lot of cranberry tokens from Grayland, WA. Most of them share a common reverse (sort of, there are two reverse varieties that look very similar). Otto Maki's is one the harder to find. We are not sure if the Five Crate token below was actually used or not. All of the examples known today show little to no signs of circulation. There is also a Ten Crate token that has a similar story. W.W. Locke's Four Quart, Six Quart and One Crate tokens were definitely used and are hard to find in high grades. This picker token is made of iron. The token is about 35 mm. in diameter, but is very thin. Daniel Stoll farmed on Ordnance Rd. near Glen Burnie, MD. E.C. Lee was probably the largest strawberry grower in Alabama ever. He originally grew many types of produce and cotton, but eventually switched to growing strawberries almost exclusively. There are four known locations where E.C. Lee Farm Co. used metal picker tokens. Farms No. 1, 2, 3 and 8. Try as I might I cannot locate the exact locations of these farms. The headquarters was in Evergreen, AL, but E.C. Lee owned farms in the surrounding towns as well. If anyone has information on E.C. Lee please let me know!
Now you tell me it’s Token Tuesday Sal. I posted a thread with lots of them from my collection. I have over 400 of them do I’ve decided to sell some in my antique shop.
I just posted this one. It’s a Gold Driving Range Token. Same on both sides but it’s unique because it’s 8-sided.
