Trying to Identify Three tokens
0

3 posts in this topic

Finally found time to mount, identify and file coins acquired in world travels since 58'  Down to only three tokens which remain unknown.  Believe the aluminum coin may be a French tram coin.  No idea about the small brass with a large B superimposed on what appears to be a W.  As far as the Futenma coin, Marine Corps Air Station Futenma on Okinawa has no idea.

I think you are correct on the aluminum token, it looks like a transportation token, The Futenma 5 cent is likely from the mess hall.

The third may be from a grocery store, I have a couple from Grand Union stores.

Thank you.  You are probably correct about the mess hall.  I'll query my contact at MCAS Futenma and see what she says.  I don't know how long the air station has been there, probably since the late 40's so this may prove interesting.
