    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.
