I was sorting through some of the tokens I have accumulated and I have identified/valued most of them. This one has me stumped though . One side says 'P.R.R.' and the other says 'INDIVIDUAL DRINKING CUP CO. INC. GOOD FOR THIS LOCATION ONLY'. So can anyone tell me what it is for and where it is from? I am also curious if it has any value.

I can certainly be wrong, but the 1st thing that comes to mind is Pennsylvania Railroad. They minted all sorts of tokens. Value? Beats me.

I actually thought Pennsylvania RR too, but I figured they would use their logo and not just the letters. You might be right though, hopefully someone can ID it for sure.

Look up the cup Co. It later became Dixie cup. Apparently, they supplied these sanitary little cups at many venues, including the railroad. It's an ad for the cup Co. more than the RR. One I saw was selling for 12.95. Hope this helps.
