Thanks for the comments guys.

Here's another one with the Indian head design from Oneonta, New York. Oneonta issued several varieties of these Indian Head tokens of which this one is my favorite, and probably the most collectible. I find the "Thrifty McToken" slogan rather amusing.

These are also from Oneonta 1908, though they appear the same they were actually produced in different sizes (dime, nickel, quarter). Also these are made of brass not bronze as the dime sized "Thrifty Mctoken".

Those are interesting. I don't think I've seen a quarter sized token before.

Love the 'Thrifty McToken' - Ride the bus!!

Here are two more UK National Transport Tokens. A 5 and a 10, I will assume the numerical or monetary units 3,5,10 are not Pounds?

I've only included one image of each token, since the front and back are identical on these. Also they are each made of Aluminum, and as with other tokens that are similar the major difference is in their diameter.

Thank you, andyg !!

He sent me a couple dozen of his spares! Wow!

As soon as my husband saw them he said, "We'll have to look all these up."

It's going to be fun to look up all the locations on a map.

Thanks again.
