<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lowle harrison, post: 4587505, member: 109950&quot;]according to records from the Fare Box 1986 &quot;the F. Thomas was built in 1936 and was the flagship of the Thomas familys&#039; small fleet of ferrys. Dave Thomas, decided to have 1000 tokens minted only for use on the F.Thomas that bore the family name,&nbsp; while the rest of the fleet continued using tickets with the Ferry name printed on them&quot;. So the answer, inconclusive .....but it seems that there was just the one minting. At its heyday the F. Thomas had between 1200 and 1800 car fares per day and up to 3000 standing fares. So 1000 tokens would be an appropriate number on hand.The boat was&nbsp; dismantled in 1968. Her whistle sit in the Ferryboat Museum in&nbsp; Marietta and the engines were donated to the Ohio State Museum at Columbus.[from the Atwood-Coffee Fourth Ed.
