<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 1586993, member: 2100&quot;]I&#039;m not into medals, but I should be able to provide some info on the tokens.</p><p>My Wisconsin token book does not have an abundance of information, but your Bluegill Bar token is listed. It is the 2nd listing of 7 for Birchwood, which is in Washburn County. Your token should be 29mm in diameter and made of aluminum. That merchant also issued a 5 cent token, also made of aluminum, with a diameter of 23mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second token is a little tougher to id, not knowing a city or state of origin. I did some searching for H.J. Heikkila on the internet without success. Same for a search of Heikkila coupled with Lumbermen&#039;s Clothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third one is even tougher, with just initials to go on. Struck out again on my internet searches. This one is reminescent of fantasy octagon 2 1/2 cent tokens supposedly from the Civil War era.</p><p><br /></p><p>S.R. Gain is the only merchant listed for Leland, Mich. in my 1987 Reference. This merchant issued 4 varieties, and your token is the third one in the list. The size should be 28mm and be made of aluminum. The second one listed is very similar to yours, except it has a propellor below Gain&#039;s name instead of the design. The other two are 21mm round, brass pieces. All four were issued for 5c in trade, and all were valued at $3.00 (25 years ago). The city of Leland has been assigned the town number of 572. The id number for your token is MI 572G1C.</p><p><br /></p><p>dbruce, my internet search for your tokens only found others looking for information, but no one was able to assist them. I will have to dig out my maverick reference and see if I can find any info on these unknowns. If I find anything, I will post back here. Sorry I couldn&#039;t be of more assistance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
