I have five (5) variations of token. Described as follows: The 1922 token - no description needed I suspect for our group. The PCC token (same size as the 1922) with Pittsburgh Railways Co. and PCC on one side and "token fare" and winged PRC on the reverse. A token that looks like a white metal or alum. token same size as the above with Pittsburgh Railways Co on the outside rim and 3 cutouts equidistant plus a cutout circle about 1/8 dia. in center and on reverse "good for one fare". What era is this token? Hope it is not a car wash token. The other two are both small, about 16 mm. One is bright like steel, the other sort of bronze or brass color, like a lot of tokens. One steel (silvery) one has the wording on the side with the "P" in the center and cutouts around it to form the "P" looking with the P in the proper position - got all that - "pittsburgh railways co" and on the reverse " 2 good for 2 one fare" around the outside. The bronze colored one has outside the P (on the side with the P in the proper position) " 1 good for 1 one fair. On the reverse "pittsburgh railways co." Any help on eras, what the differences were for, etc. I haven't got through the bible yet that was copied and some of this may be in there, but as I was putting some stuff away I had these all together and thought you might be able to help.
