The KF token was for paying the fare on the Katarina Hiss lift in Stockholm. KF refers to det Kooperativa Förbundet, whose architectural office designed the building.

The "HADRIANVS" one (top centre) is a very poor replica of an ancient Roman coin. Being uniface, I'd assume it was made for insertion into something.

I'm guessing the replica ancient Roman is one sided because it was glued to a board display with other representative coins like it as a marketing or replica history item for sale at tourist locales.
And the large one at bottom right is for a car wash (according to my limited language knowledge), WESUMAT SoftWash is an automated carwash, so probably a token used for it.
I think the odd shaped one with the points is from another item and not a token, something like a spinning keychain? This would be in the center attached to two divots in the frame of a ring. (Only a wild guess, as I never saw anything quite like it before).

Thanks for sharing then, sometimes you never know what you have, and it may be an actual undiscovered treasure!

The Karl W. Muller token was made by a German company and used almost exclusively at car washes in England. Value about $1 (U.S.) and is fairly common.

Do you have a size for the large German stock car wash token in the lower right. I need to list it in the foreign car wash catalog. Can't read the small text on the reverse either. May I crop it and use your scan in the catalog?

Thank You!! Your token has been added to the foreign car wash token catalog and is now # DEU MSCWT 150-I. FYI: DEU= Germany; MSCWT= Manufacturers Car Wash Stock Token; 150= Group number assigned the Washumat tokens; I= this/your token. Again many thanks.
Jim
