Interesting article. I have some tokens that were given out by local stores/taverns/restaurants in the 1930s-60s. Mavericks are tokens without a city, state name on them. I have a couple of those also. Mavericks are not very desirable. Collectors here want tokens for their state, nearby towns, or local taverns/bars. Some of my tokens are aluminum, brass, and newer plastic and are round, oval, square or 6-sided. Plastic ones are "bar chips" you get because you couldn't keep up and you have to take the chips home to spend the next time you are at that bar. Plastic bar chips are still used here and are not collectible unless it is for a bar/tavern no longer in existence or had a name change.
