Teddy Roosevelt

[Shooter65]

My buddy Mike and I hunted some old places that were falling down yesterday and I came up with this Teddy Roosevelt Token. I've looked all over the internet and can't find anything that resembles this token. Anybody got any ideas???????????

I looked around a bit. These were the only ones I saw that *might* be from the same series.
Not sure though. The pictures aren't the best on e-bay.

I found one from this series also. Mine is 15th President James Buchanan. I could never confirm, but someone called them cracker jack tokens and said they were from the late '50's. Another person said they were gas tokens from the '60's but every gas token I found pictured online had Shell Oil on the reverse and were made from lighter weight metals (Aluminum I think). I did a google search for presidential facts tokens and came up empty. I hope someone here knows for sure.

Those token were given away by the Sinclair gasoline stations in the 60's. You got one every time you filled up and the goal was to get all the presidents.

You sure that is the same series? You may be right, but I think the one he found is from
an older series vs the 60's version.
I've seen some of the newer ones on flea bay, and they look a bit different.
IE: the ones I think are the gas station version don't say ??th president U.S.A.
on the top. They say something else, and most of the portraits are head on
instead of profile.
Course, it's quite possible I'm totally confused...
