Quote: It seems likely that this was made by the same supplier that put out the example with which this thread started. Very nice!

Staying with today's Canadian theme, I thought this one particularly interesting.   This organization still exists, see: http://www.nunet.ca/cawmc.htm

Here's a pair of supplier advertising/promotional pieces -   The most current information I can access shows that J.S. Apelman still owns a coin shop in Covington, but I don't see any indication that he's remained in the wooden nickel business.

This is a weird one. An annual "Carrot Carnival" on one side, and a coin club on the other. I can only guess that maybe the coin club had a booth at the carnival?

  A theme with the last three I've posted - none display the often seen Fraser-esque buffalo or Indian portrait motif.

Circus - I know nothing about wooden nickels, but I wanted to give you a shout-out for one of the cleverest forum titles ever.
