Nice find, I seem to remember getting those when I was a kid in the 60s. Is that not a trade mark with the date 1965 below the car? HH, Mike

Nice dig hollow! Have you found any info on it?

 

[hollowpointred]

i found out that these tokens were a series that sunoco put out in 1968. they did a 2nd series in 1969. they arent worth a whole lot, but it was fun to find anyway. its definitly somthing to throw in the nick nack box!

I have one of those tokens also.....here's mine, and HH to you!!!

i had a feeling that someone else around here would have found one of these! i wish mine looked as nice as yours.

Hi hollowpoint, I remember handing those out at my Father's Sunoco Station. When you got a fill up you got a coin that was in a wrapper so you couldn't see whick one you were getting. They gave you sheets with little holders so you could collect the whole series. Another blast from the past.

hollowpointred, didn't Shell Oil do a Presidents bronze token series back in the 60's? I think it was Shell?

Anyway, I had the whole set at one time. Somehow they were put into our trash burning barrel and I didn't know this until I was dumping the ashes. After that I just buried them in the yard with the ashes. They're most likely still there today. I think this is how a lot of today's digs got into yards.

I don't think any of these gas sets are worth much today but they do make for cool detector finds.

Nice find.
