Construction site digs. Bottles, Tokens, Marbles, & More DIOPCO Deer Island Oyster

Got into a construction site this weekend.
Saturday after the rain was extra nice as lots of glass was exposed.
Most exciting find was the DIOPCO Token Deer Island Oyster Packing Co. Circa 1900-20. Local Seafood Industry Token.

Love old town demolition scrape hunting. Thanx for the pix !
 

Nice finds! Try a pencil rubbing of the oval Florida token to see if you can get any more info off of it. Please post the D.I.O.P.Co. token to tokencatalog.com - or with permission to use your pics, I could do it.

Thanks. You are welcome to post the pictures if you would like.
The DIOPCO token was in my out of publication book, called Brozenes and Doodlum, Private Money in Mississippi by George P. Chatham. Its a pretty good book that
covers many Mississippi tokens. 355 pages.
The FLA token is cleaning up for me. It is a McRae Lumber Manufacturing Co. 10c Commissary token from Quincy FLA. It should be cleaned up good later tonight. I couldn't find any info on it, other than McRae's website that says they are, and have been in business for over 90 years.
