A few tokens and a interesting what's it!

I was fortunate to poke around the coal towns in Southern Colorado. Aguilar was a small town. The token is from there. I have found one of these strange items once before, maybe someone knows. The other token was from a hunt in my home town. I LOVE it!!!!!! Happy Hunting!!! View attachment 1921642

Thanks Trezurehunter, it's so fun getting out. I just got back from a huge construction tear out nothing good but an ink well. It was a long winter. It's just fun to hunt.

Is the one with the heart cutout a brothel token?

Hi Don, thank you for the link. Aguilar is such a quaint small run down town. I was hoping it was a " company store" as the song goes. It may have been linked to one of the nearby mines. I'll dig more into it as time goes by. Thank you for the post!!!
