    Description

    This is a group of 4 vintage state tax tokens. One is dated 1935.  The others are undated, but I am guessing they are all from around the same time frame.  Please see below for individual item descriptions and condition:
    1. Missouri (2 of these)
    Zinc (with associated age-related corrosion).  22 mm diameter x 1mm thick.  The tokens have the state image in the center with "Sales Tax Receipt" present.  One token has "1" on it, the other token has a "5" and has a hole in the middle.
    2. Colorado Retail Token, Sales Tax
    Aluminum.  A cross is cut out at the center, flanked by the number "2".  This one measures 22 mm diameter x 1 mm thick.  Slight wear but good condition.
    3. New Mixico Bureau of Revenue, 1935
    Aluminum. Measures 16 mm in diameter x 1 mm thick.  There is an eagle at the center, front.  The back has the sun with a "1" in the center.  "Emergency School Tax on Purchase of Five Cents, Tax Token, One Mill".  Slight wear but good condition.
    If any buyer is OK with me just putting these in an envelope with 2 postage stamps, I am willing to mail these this way.  Just keep in mind that there would be no tracking of your package if you choose to use this form of mail and I will not refund any money if you do not receive the item.  If you want to use this method, let me know and wait for me to send you an invoice before you pay.
    I have tried to describe any issued with these items as much as possible.  I can post additional photos upon request and will try to answer any questions you might have that weren't addressed above. If you want to purchase more than one item, let me know and I will wait until your purchases are complete, then I will send a single invoice with one shipping charge.
