1933 ford token

An ederly friend was going thru some her stuff and found an old aniversary token token that she was given from the ford dealer back in the day and I was curious how rare it is and if it is worth anything. It was for ford's 30th anniv. here are a couple pics

 

I had never seen one before... I say it is pretty damn cool!

 

That is really cool and unique,,,,worth more to have than sell!

 

I used to see lots of them in the trinket cases at Hershey. I don't think they're uber rare.

 

i thought it was pretty cool myself.

 

It is worth more as a gift from a friend than out on the open market. Nice that she thought of you when she found it.

 

They are on Ebay regularly in the 20-25 dollar range. They made one for the 1934 exposition also. I got the bright idea to make a shift knob with one only to discover that they actually did make a special shift knob for that show. The real ones are more rounded on top. The original shift knobs are pretty pricey but I like mine anyway. The knob is a 2.00 universal bakelite knob for lawn mowers and such.

 

not real rare, nut this cool

I have this "giveaway" item from the World's Fair....in 1934
There is still plenty of these around, so I didn't feel too bad drilling a hole in it for my key chain for my '34







as you know Ford was a real big deal at that fair.
Also, you can find a token like yours in a shift know...fairly rare, but they are still on the auction sight...
old stuff is cool one way or the other

 

yep, not rare but nice, I gots one

 

cool. I like the shift knob idea. I wasn't planning to sell, just curious how many are out there.
