<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3570732, member: 32619&quot;]Yesterday I imaged many coins both overseas and domestic and my paper chits. I have not yet completed all the chits...I&#039;m a little over photo editing right now...I have 11 left to go...</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few tokens from yesterday&#039;s project:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951006[/ATTACH]</p><p>This token is from Cape Newenham AFS, Alaska.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951007[/ATTACH]Hard to pin down where this token is from. All of the civilian mess tokens I&#039;ve seen have been from Alaska however I didn&#039;t scrub Cunningham looking for others. TokenCatalog.com has a comment about this one being from WWII era and being made out of fiber because of the war effort. A.E. Schmidt Co. has made pool tables since 1850.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951008[/ATTACH]</p><p>This chip is unlisted in Cunningham but John Kallman has attributed it to Luke AFB, AZ. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951009[/ATTACH]</p><p>This token is a bit of a mystery. There was no King AFB. There was a King Salmon AFB in Alaska that was renamed Naknek AFB. There was also a King Salmon AFS. So where did this token come from? Did someone make a mistake when they ordered or made these tokens? I&#039;ve also seen a 5 cent denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951010[/ATTACH]</p><p>This token is really great in hand too. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951011[/ATTACH]</p><p>This one is attributed to Dobbins AFB, which seems likely. I like it for the odd denomination. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951012[/ATTACH]</p><p>So many sellers advertise various military tokens as &quot;rare WWII&quot; tokens but they&#039;re wrong. Not sure if it&#039;s intentional or just trying to get people to look at or buy their items. The above token is from WWII or very near. Shortly after the Air Force was created, Savannah AAB was turned over and renamed Hunter AFB. Later the base was given back to the Army and is known as Hunter Army Airfield. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]951013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]951016[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
