ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4418 Posts	Posted 03/28/2015 09:32 am These are part of a series of tokens, dating back to the 1960-70's era when it was considered "cool" to know all the names of former presidents. Nowadays, having historical knowledge causes one to run the risk of being labeled a "nerd." I seem to recall that these tokens may have been part of some retail business promotion - Shell Oil or Sunoco, perhaps? They do have an "older than they are" look about them and are fairly common.

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 1:43 pm Perhaps even older. This might have been part of a child's set of presidents' medals dating to the mid 1930s. I have this set buried somewhere. The last medal, President FDR, had the dates 1933 and --- indicating that he was still in office. The set that I have is in a box about 5 by 8 inches. Additionally to the set I have some loose medals of the identical type. Both came from family members who were kids then. If I find it I'll research the origin and post again. mackwork, that example on Canadian ebay is close to the original color. Edited by matthewvincent 03/30/2015 1:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
