matchbox Pillar of the Community United States 1007 Posts	Posted 03/12/2010 5:28 pm Hello all. I have my scanner fired up today so thought I sould scan some of the things I've picked up through the years. I've always been a "saver" and have gathered these things from vsrious trips and things handed down to my from my parents and found in various places. I hope you enjoy seeing these items. Sorry if some of the images are cockeyed as I'm not used to this scanner. 1914 Hupmobile token Don't remember where I found this but it's from 1914. A & W Drive-in token Grand Forks ND used to have an A & W drive in where they gave you a token to put in the slot to lift the gate so you could drive out of the parking lot. Many of these ended up in the hands of collectors. Arvilla North Dakota token My Dad was raised in the tiny village of Arvilla, ND and this comes from there. It must be circa 1930's or earlier. 1933 Chicago Century of Progress token Found this at an antique shop many years ago. I've always liked World's Fair memorabilia. Chrysler Bill of Rights from 1991 In 1991 Chrysler invited "special customers" to an evening open house and if you attended you received this 1oz solid silver coin commemorating the BIll or Rights. I remember I was sick with the flu so my Dad attended for me just to get the coin. Thanks Dad! Grand Forks bus token My city used to have these tokens. I think it's from the late 1940's or 1950's. Mini Cooper token circa 2005 At the auto shows when BMW re-introduced the Mini Cooper they handed you one of these tokens to place in a "vending machine" to get a brochure. It's the same on front and back so only one pic. Edited by matchbox 03/12/2010 5:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 03/12/2010 7:52 pm Thanks for sharing! I have a few transit tokens and arcade tokens, but none with much historical significance. That good luck charm from 1933 sure is interesting, isn't it? Report this Post to the Staff
