So, how'd I do on these? (Exonumistas take notice, please- I could use your help)

Paid 21 bucks for these six pieces and four or five others not shown (Canadian tokens and stuff).
Any help with dates for the undated pieces, relative rarity, and values would be appreciated, and of course random opinions are fine, too.
I thought these were fun. This batch was part of a much bigger oldtimey collection of several hundred pieces, mostly foreign. There was a low grade Fugio cent in the lot, too, but the guy who sold it to me kept that. He bought all of it from a "little old lady". Must've been her husband's, 'cause a lot of the coins were in old school paper envelopes and there were a bunch of old index cards.
Note that I've gotten so frustrated with my photography that I am back to the trusty old scanner for a while. It makes nice clear pictures but they look a little flat sometimes.
Yeah, I know- this last one is German. It appears to have been good for one glass of Culmbacher, whatever that is. Doesn't sound very tasty. BTW, the teeny-tiny lettering on the reverse of the German piece says "HANNECK 1 B" or "HANNECK 1 8", if that helps.

I don't have time to give you the HTT numbers on the first 3 but that was a heck of a buy for $26
If Broadstruck doesn't come online and give you the HTT numbers by morning, I will

I don't know anything to amount to anything about tokens but - anytime you can get 6 of anything I like for $26 you have done well.
Congratulations on the pick up.

Actually it was $21, for these six and maybe four or five others not shown.
I can think of a few things I wouldn't want six of, for any amount of money!

Civil war token 510H-1a R5 (score!)
Ruggles, HT-307 R1
Richards, HT-150 R2
Wall St, HT-294 (1837) R1
Yep thats a beer token from the town of the same name, I guess C and K are inter changable.
Edited to add, not sure of other drink token, gay 90's?
Also edited to add, in my little world you deserve a big You Suck! for bagging those at that price
What's an R5 CWT supposed to be worth, anyway, ballpark?
I know that one has some verdigris issues.
That's why I only figured that one at two dollars.

Your HT-307... Goldbully as I like to call it even with issues will most likely fetch $40+
The R-1 rating is BS as this is a tough token and extremely tough in CH AU and even more so in UNC.

Some of us don't need no stinking book, but LotsofLuck did well matching the pics to the numbers!

Broadstruck knows, he sold me a sweet one in AU
Y'know, the deuce of it is, I've got the Rulau encyclopedia around here... somewhere. Heaven knows where. Probably under a mountain of junk. You could call my home Clutter Central.
I've got somebody who wants the Brunswick pool table token but neither he nor I have any clue of what sort of funds should change hands. Should I ask a million-bajillion-squintillion dollars?
As to a $20 estimate on the CWT, why, that don't bother me at all. Ten times what I paid, it is.
Edit to add: I suppose I should begin some archaeological excavations in the bedroom to see where Rulau is hiding. I'll probably find him in a layer dating back to 2008 or so, underneath some dustbunnies the size of real bunnies, and maybe some long-dried cat barf.
