Tiny fare token

[SeaninNH]

I found this recently. It's a Public Service of New Hampshire 1 fare token.

I believe it is from 1940, but I could be wrong. If anyone has any info on it that would be great.

The dime is for size reference, but it did come from the same park.

That's about all I could find as well. I'm curious where they were purchased and how long they were used. I'd assume they were for bus fares?

Nice token, I have a bunch from when I was a kid. If you can go along Union St. The busses used to stop all along that road. I found all mine right at the old bus stops where we used to wait for school bus to pick us up. Today you would probably get yelled at for detecting along the sides of Union St.
