Tell me what you think. The top one is a Dairy Queen token, I want to know when they used these, that I got for my sister who works there. The second one is an Indianapolis Railway token that I got because I live in Indianapolis and thought it was interesting. Sorry about the quality of the second one. It is extremely tiny, so I had to zoom in a lot and it made it lower quality.

I got one of those Indianapolis railways tokens from another member as a prize for a contest. More info about them would be cool.

The Dairy Queen token was used at least through the mid-late 1980s because I remember using them as a kid. When you purchased a meal deal consisting of a cheeseburger, fries, soda, and a sundae, they would give you the token so you could eat your food and then redeem it later for your dessert. VoilĂ , no melted ice cream

Regarding your transportation token, the President signature can be used to date it. Based on what I can see from the signature, it matches issues from the WWII era with the primary difference being compositions.
