This came recently. Goes well with the 2 franc and 50 cent tokens of same design I already have.

 

One of many generic car wash tokens that are availiable

 

This week's CoinWorld podcast is about Exo and an interview with John Kraljevich: "The guy who likes the weird stuff."

Here is the coupro-nickle version I posted a while ago http://goccf.com/t/269909&whichpage=81#3091344
Here is a brass version from a different buy.

 

Over the years Ive been picking up odds and ends, mostly brass, bronze, copper medals.elongated cents, love tokens store tokens , and some larger copper/ brass items. I'm sort of at a stand still as there's about 6 other items that are earmarked for this set....one being around 1800's heavy brass tag off an Kentucky whiskey maker barrel ring. I personally found myself in 1972.

 

1843 Nova Scotia 1 penny token, given to me by a friend recently. It came from his late father's collection in England, and now resides on this side of the planet. Appears to have formerly been gold plated or washed.

 

Here is a slightly different birth announcement , For those that may not know he writes books on tokens and lives in Michigan.
I believe the counterstamped number refers to the party that the token was given to and the party holed it for some reason.

 

A token with Paul Cunningham's name on it is definitely a keeper.

 

Although Tan Son Nhut Air Base was a joint base I haven't found anything about the Navy or Marines there. The Army Operated the 3rd Radio Research Unit at Davis Station on the base. "Radio Research Units" did signal Intel for the Army Security Agency. The Air Force did photo recon flights with F-101 Voodoos--a magnificent aircraft.
They also flew F-102 Delta Daggers as defense for the base and Saigon.

Tan Son Nhut AF NCO Club--same both sides. 5c, Brass, C/A, 4.6grams, 21mm, VN5150a

 

A return too drop in mil box key ring tag. Only there are no ident numbers on the tag.

 

Here is just the dangle for the WWII medal for the American campaign 41 thru 46 during those year it ws onlt a ribbon and the didn't make it a medal till 1947.
Probably used as a key chain fob by the owner

 

Star-Peerless Brewery token. White metal, C/A, 5.6 grams, 26mm.

They opened in 1934 right after prohibition was repealed. They closed down in 1958 which seems really odd. There must have been plenty of football games and beer moochers around even back then. Stern Brau dry light larger was their main product so maybe the public didn't like it. Or maybe they just had too much competition? Ooooh, ooh, oooh, I know, maybe no one liked their company motto: "few as good none as better." If a few were as good as them, how are they "peerless?"
