Nice finds, I remember having some of those type tokens as a kid but can't remember where they came from, maybe a gas station? HH, Mike

Nice Digs, Not sure about your token but your jeep looks like a Tootsie Toy Jeep circa 1940's early 50's.

Nice finds, my father had a Sunoco station when I was growing up and each time you came in they gave you this coin you had to unwrap. If you got all the coins in a series you won something from Sunoco. I think its from the late 60's or so. HH

Nice finds bigrig. I have a sunoco token similar to that one myself. My younger brother has one also. I think you got them in the mid sixties for filling up gas or something like that. Some are worth money. You have to search for them on the net. The one I found was a key date. A 1921 if i can recall. I found a list price on some website a few years back. It had a value of 26.00 dollars. Your date may be a decent one also. I just can't remember what years were better than others. Most common date one's were in the 8 to 10 dollar range if i can recall.

Keep up the good work.

Great job Bigrig.

Here's a link to some of the Sunoco coins on eBay.

Looks like the bronze one you found may have been made by the Franklin mint.

Good Luck and HH
