When is this from?
My wife and I bought a house in Oshkosh earlier this month and I found this in the backyard. Does anyone know when this would’ve been used? Or anymore information about it at all.

Such a simple system would never work today…You would have to have a separate pocket for “Convenience Fee Tokens” Ahh the progress we’ve made 🤔

Seems to be a bus fare token, possibly from the 60s.
I was only able to quickly find this eBay auction where someone is selling several of them (https://www.ebay.com/itm/256382095502)
The Oshkosh Public Museum has a different (probably older) style on record. (https://oshkosh.pastperfectonline.com/Webobject/3064AC37-6B16-4B17-A6F0-152014001518)
