Amazing day, congrates! If possible, could I see a closeup of the tokens?
The heart shape intrigues me, as well as the scallop.
Out here in Denver, people have vanished after finding 4 tokens in one day.
Never to return.
Big Time Kudos,
Carl

Congrats on your finds. You found at least one very interesting token:

The cord wood tokens turn up from time to time but are definitely not common. A few but not many carry some letters that would indicate what railroad used the tokens. The tokens were issued to the engineers to purchase wood along the track. A cord of wood would provide fuel for about 50 to 60 miles, so a train would sometimes have to refuel several times on a trip. The railroad would make an arrangement with the farmers or other businesses along the track to provide wood. When the engineer reached the refueling point he would stop, reload the hopper and give the supplier the tokens to represent the amount of wood purchased. The supplier would then swap the tokens back to the railroad for money.

The cord tokens are usually round, but some are rectangular or other shapes. They could have been made in a railroad shop. These tokens may state 1 CORD, GOOD FOR 1 CORD, 1/4 CORD, AND 1/2 CORD. The 1/2 cord denomination seems to be the most common. A very few have the word "WOOD" on the token. It is very desirable for the token to have the name of the railroad on the token, which is the only real way to know who used the token. A few northern and Canadian railroads had tokens that can definitely be connected to a specific railroad.
Great finds !!

Great weekend. I was particularly intrigued by the token "The Swift's Billiard parlor". I have yet to see a token of any type that was good for 3 1/3 cents. What an interesting find.
