Here are a few I have gathered. The Pittsburgh is from the 40's or 50's. My father use to ride the train into Pittsburgh every Saturday. The information on the Braddock token is a Bus token from Pittsburgh. It is pre 1964. It is from the Dawson bus line. And the line was taken over by PAT of Pittsburgh in May 20, 1964.

Try out this site for identification of the transportation tokens, it is an offshoot of the American Vecturist Association. The site has a couple thousand tokens posted with attributions, values, and other pertinent info. It does not list every transportation token but should be able to roughly identify them.

Thank you for the info biokemist. It has lead me into other sites to get information on the other tokens. There is still one that I have not seen as identical. It is the flag of our union. The army and navy side I have seen. But with the flag of our union I have not been able to trace one down. I have to take some time off these coins. When away from my desk I still see coins in front of me))
