Golf Driving Range. Unique due to 8 sides. I showed both sides. It they are the same.

 

A nice group of tokens, CN. Especially like the Gleason CWT and the two Hard Times tokens.

I have lots more.

 

Very interesting mix from a Conder to the NYC subway. Looking forward to seeing more.

 

I have one of those Golden Gate International Exposition tokens, but mine is a spinner token.

 

A very nice spinner. Looks brand new.

I have over 250 spinners but most of them are in used condition. Afterall they were made to carry in your pocket for when they were needed. This one is by far my best one. Definitely "uncirculated". I have one from Samsonite that is made of zinc, which is very unusual, and very dark.

 

Zinc tokens are unusual as far as I know. I'd like to see a picture of that one if you have one.

Here are a few tokens made by my favorite Wisconsin Civil War token die sinker, Jon Marr. Marr's son became more famous in the art world than his father.



Blatz beer was a brand that was still around when my might of drank it. My dad didn't like beer at all. He said it tasted like "horse liquid."



This token was issued for the original Friedrich Miller, the brewer who started the name brand.

 

Here is the information from Numista on this token. I see it’s a medal.

Comments
The Seute Deern is a German three-masted barque with a wooden hull, converted from the four-masted schooner Elisabeth Bandi (fitted out in 1919) in 1939.

She now serves as the restaurant of the Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum(German Maritime Museum) in Bremerhaven harbor.
Here’s my token, or medal:

 

Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, the first person to fly over the South Pole.

 

An aluminum token that was produced by Alcoa to show a new train made with aluminum, The New Union Pacific Train built by Pullman & Car Mfg. Corp. It’s dated 1934. Unfortunately it has something on it that warm running water will not remove.

@dwhiz Wanted to make sure you saw this one.

 

My memory has failed me once again. It is not Zinc, it is Magnesium. Here are the pictures. This token is light as a feather.

 

You have an antique shop? Is it an online shop or is it a brick and mortar shop?

 

Brick and mortar. I rent space in an antique mall.

 

This is a COPY. That word is in Washington’s hairline by America. Looks like it’s proof because it’s so shiny.
