Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 05:58 am They are trade stimulator tokens. Wide spread countertop machines in the 30's and 40's they paid out in those tokens for a pack or two of cigarettes or cigars. They looked like small slot machines. You had two line up three packs of the same brand on the reels and you got a token for a pack of that brand. They aren't that rare, and can go for up to $3.00 each 1 pack and $4.00 for a two pack. mine Edited by Circus 05/24/2016 08:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
