Hi--

I was looking at your site, and saw a couple of pictures of copper 
tokens with holes in them.  These appear to be tokens that were used 
in slot machines in the 1930's and 1940's.  They were intended to 
evade the anti-gambling laws in place at the time.  Token 2 especially 
has a clue to its origin on side B.  The "OK Vender"  was an item 
marketed by the Mills Slot Machine Co of Chicago.  The device was a 
mint vendor which was mounted on the side of a slot machine to make it 
appear "OK", and not a gambling device.

Hope that helps identify these items.
