Hi frieda,
North west company tokens are very rare and valuble, since they were only in existance very briefly. more information can be found here: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/token...-1820&id=201
Unfortunately they are also only known in brass so this is not an original piece ... but it's still nice. What it's worth is really up to you but if it's an Electrotype reproduction I'd probably pay $50+ but only because I like tokens.
The HB tag looks like like a fur bale tag rather than a token. These were used to mark the packages of fur as HB property during shipping. They're neat and uncommon but not outragously rare. That one looks similar to this one that sold for $150 US (but was in better condition)
