I imagine many of these must have been distributed with bottles of whiskey. The range in variety suggests they ordered them just like kegs, bottles, or other supplies. Each order was a little different because token makers rarely keep any dies.
The token isn't so common as empty whiskey bottles though.
I'll have to dig mine out. Years ago I purchased a half roll of BU examples... that contained multiple varieties. My favorite one was the horse/mule than was very crudely done... and looked starved.
