[QUOTE="jester3681, post: 2726608, member: 53130"]Welcome Sommer! These are all three "Good For" tokens, and are likely from the early 20th century. Value on most Good Fors is soft unless the tokens are particularly rare - but these are neat pieces of history. TokenCatalog.com is one of the best sources of info for local exonumia - I found the following info there for you: The top one is a J.M. Henkel Billiards token, counterstamped with the WW and 25 - apparently Henkel sold his tokens to Woody Woods who reused them. Henkel was listed as a billiard hall operator from 1918-44. Listed in the OK Exonumia Guide, p.498. One sold on 9/14 for $20. The second is listed in the OK Exo Guide, p.229. Two have sold, 11/12 for $11, 5/14 for $14. Are there any markings on the other side of the third? Without any specific issuer info, it is nearly impossible to track down info. Hope this helps![/QUOTE]
