Star tokens were for Washington PA city lines.

More from the third grade.....

How many different tokens were produced by Prys/PAT ??   Were there others
than the 1922 versions commonly seen?

I am familiar only with Prys tokens with a triangular hole in center OR two
semicircular holes around the center.


Two "1922" tokens appear on eBay with 5-pointed star openings in the center.
Enlarged view shows asymmetry to the stars which make me think that they
were the triangular openings poorly modified to a star.
