Brass transit token

[Richard Ray]

Found this one in a park near Dallas, TX. It's a San Antonio old bus token, don't know if it's worth anything, probably not... LOL

Several are for sale on eBay; here's one:

Thanks Mac, I wouldn't have of thought about looking on EBay. Didn't think it was worth anything. I'm not into tokens, I got a bag or them, most found in old houses. Once I found a matchbox with a bunch of them in it.

Richard, nice collection !!
If there are any that stump you, post them and give the experts who lurk here a chance to assist.

Thought I would add into this post. This is a dog tax tag I dug in Big Rapids, MI about 4 weeks ago. From what I have seen pre 1900 dog tags are quite rare and command a premium. I just tossed mine up on EBay and it brought me $350. Everything 1900 on seems to bring $50 or less. Happy hunting!
