I have a copy of"Guide Book of Wooden Money" 8TH edition by, M.W. Dennis,printed in 1995.

The book says it is worth about $5.00

Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with this specific issue but it is pretty typical of the types being
made in the early 1950's. Unless it's a scarcity or is specifically desired by a collector
it may prove not to be easily sold.

There is a growing base of collectors for the trade tokens issued by cities and towns
in metal starting about this same time and replacing them by the mid-'60's. If and
when these collectors desire the woods their demand could be dramatically affected.

IMHO it is priceless, it belonged to your grandfather
