NTERNAT QNAL ORGANIZATION OF WOODEN MONEY COLLECTORS
I
* By Joy Orth - Reporter *
"The story is in the press,"
asserts Jake Scott, Tenino
Museum supporter. He is
speaking of the old press
housed in the Tenino Depot
Museum which has recently
been put into service to pro-
ttsmmamBBBBB duce a quantity of limited
edition" cards that will be
distributed at five stations
during Winterfest
"This press is over 00
1
years old," Jake says. It
was manufactured by Chandler
and Price Company of Cleve-
land Ohio.
Demonstrating how the
paste-ink is spread over the
raised medal platen, then
pressed by the heavy rubber
rollers to produce the en-
graving, Scott explains how
museum members are looking for
a younger, more dexterous per-
son to learn the operation.
Historian Jake Scott demonstrates how the museum's press operates and is used
to make nostalgic keepsakes such as the Winterfest postcards available this year. "And it doesn't have to be a
Museum artifact used to print collectiblesman! he says. Scott and Art
Dwelley are two of the few
persons left in the area who know how to operate the machine.
The recently made cards carry holiday designs which were originally run on this
press in years gone by. One is Santa with a Tenino wooden money legend, an angel
of joyous tidings, Mary and Joseph with a donkey and other holiday designs.
In order to collect all five of the cards an individual must visit five differ-
ent stations during Winterfest including the Arts and Craft Demonstrations at the
Tenino High School; the Historic Sandstone District centering at Mariannes; the
Quilt Display at Tenino Middle School; one at the Tenino Depot Museum and the Wag-
on Ride where the last free design card will be given.
— —
Special cards printed on wood like the original wooden money will be gifted
on sponsors and patrons of Winterfest, including but not limited to: Wolf Haven
International, Hedden's Pharmacy, The Tenino Independent, The Tenino Telephone Co.
and Thurston County Parks and Recreation. Continued next page

When Tenino wooden money was first printed in December, 1931, it was the leagal
wooden money in the nation and it generated worldwide publicity and many copiers.
An International Organization of wooden money collectors now exists with many mem-
bers scouting around for those little chips of wood.
Perhaps those printed cards of 1994 will be collector's items and, yes Jake, the
story really is in the old press. The museum and its varied contents are an import-
ant part of the Tenino, Washington community.
MOTEL SPACE IN FOSTORIA, OHIO SCARCE
As soon as you read this run to the phone and call the "Days Inn" in
Fostoria, OH the phone numbers are 1-800-329-7466 or dirrect to the Inn -
1-419-435-6511. Rates are person $40.50 - Queen size $45.00, 2 beds $49.00
1
plus local taxes of 8^% A discount is available for AAA or AARP members. SO
.
make your reservations for our Thirtieth Anniversary Meeting. This is it for
motels in Fostoria. It is the Days Inn or your car or some other city. Since
they are the only motel in town, you should have guessed they are not very
large either so it is first come first served. Snooze and you will not snooze
in Fostoria.
We will be holding our registration at the motel and they are providing
a room for socializing and wood swapping on Saturday afternoon, so plan on
arriving early. Tours of both the local histoical museum and the Fostoria
Glass Museum are also planned for Saturday afternoon.
NEEDED IMMEDIATELY! Your imput on what kind of wood should be made for
meeting. Should we have a round wooden nickel, a wooden dollar or should we
have a wooden flat to honor John Rogers Co.? Once you have made up your
mind what kind of wood you would like to see made, we need to know what you
would like on the wood.
Saturday dinner menue, and prices will be in the next Bunyan's Chips.
Do you want competitive exhibits at show or just bring what you want
to show with no awards for the best exhibit. Sure nice to take home a trophy
but sometimes judges get carried away by sheer size or value of a exhibit,
overlooking the thought and labor someone put in to telling a story with an
exhibit
Would you like to come to show if you get a ride with someone? Norm
is willing to try to act as a car pooler. Drop him a line if you can bring
someone (please include the routes you plan on traveling.) or if you would
like to come if some one else were doing the driving. If looking for a ride
also let Norm know if you would share the gas and tolls.
Got any more ideas for activities? Let Norm Boughton or Robbin Quinn
know now while we still have time to plan them. Both addresses are in the
officers listing-not because we want to see them there but because we want
to hear from you. It is YOUR show and meeting! We want you to enjoy it.

*** HAPPY NEW YEAR! ***
I hope by now all of you are making travel and hotel
arrangements for Fostoria, Ohio on March 25 & 26 1995. Need
help? Contact Rob Quinn or myself. Our aim is to make this
the largest meeting/show "IOWMC" has ever had but we need
you to help by participating with your presence!
Santa Claus brought me two unlisted New York woods or maybe even three
as I never knew what the listed wood looked like. The early pair is from
Marathon NY and while one is listed in the 1976 catalog there is no descript-
ion of the reverse so I do not know which is the unknown piece. I find no
reason to believe either piece is a fantasy piece as they are equally dirty
and show no variation in the obverse printing. The 1995 edition of my New
York round wooden money catalog will list these pieces at $7.50 each as I
have no way of knowing which, if any, is the scarcer piece.
The 1984 piece is from Canajoharie, NY, once the home of Beechnut who
made a lot of baby food there and also made one of my favorite candies, Life
Savers. This will be listed in the 1995 catalog at $2.00
No, I do not have any duplicates of either of these pieces. I'll be
sending out inquiries to the Town/Village Historian to see if I can learn
more about these pieces and possible availability of some for my spring sale
list which I plan on distributing to those attending the Fostoria show before
mailing anyone a copy. Yes, I'm shameless when it comes to trying to get you
to enjoy your hobby.
When making your New Year resolutions, don't forget to make one
to send the editor something to put in Chips every month. New grandchildren,
family marriages, wood discoveries, historical notes on wood issuing commun-
ities, portraits are all of interest to some or all of our members. Why not
start an argument with Norm. I understand there is some conterversy in the
hobby as to what is an official wood. Seems like a round wood that advertises
a business is not official but the Erie, PA flats with businesses advertised
on them are highly prized collectibles. Let us hear your opinion. Bunyan's
Chips is your news letter - USE IT!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL WOODEN MONEY HOBBYISTS- PLEASE REPORT
EFFORT TO REJUVENATE WOODEN MONEY HOBBY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Three active northern California wooden money hobbyists and well known
coin hobbyists have joined together as an ad hoc committee to revitalize
the long dormant Northern California Wooden Money Collectors (NCWMC). They
are: Woody Chamblin of Diamond Springs, Gordon Donnell of Berkeley, and Stan
Turrini of Vallejo, all California.
This ad hoc committee has scheduled an open reorganizational meeting
called for the expressed purpose of revitalizing the NCWMC or if necessary
commencing a whole new organization. This meeting will be held at the Twenty
Third (23rd) Annual Vallejo Coin and Collectibles Show, on Sunday, May 7,
1995, starting at 12:00 Noon, at Dan Foley Cultural Center, Dan Foley Park,
Tuolumne Street At End North Camino Alto, off Serano at Tuolumne, in Vallejo.
The Vallejo Show is a full-day multi-event Show with free admission.
There is a nominal $2.00 parking charge within the Park.
This reorganizational meeting, open to all NCWMC members, wooden money
hobbyists and other coin hobbyists is intended to act upon ideas and input to
restart the NCWMC or if discussion ordains commence a whole new wooden money
organization of the same or different name. Stan Turrini will preside, and
the agenda is still pending.
A plea is made to NCWMC members, past and present, and interested wood-
en money hobbyists to correspond with the ad hoc committee.
The ad hoc committee will also issue a wooden nickel for this reorgan-
izational meeting.
The long years without a newsletter, declining membership, and lack of
wooden money issues or any activity or structure have caused these three coin
hobbyist to begin serious efforts to do something. The Northern California
Numismatic Association NCNA has endorsed their efforts and contributed to
( )
their initional expenses.
Inquiries are warmly welcomed, and ideas and input are solicited. Write
or telephone "Gordon Donnell, 1960 San Antonio, Berkely, California, 94707;

Anyone looking for the eight piece set of Rome NY Fort Stanwix Days
woods from 1977 should contact Mr. Franklyn Rudd, 614 North James Street,
Rome NY 13440. Send him $2.00 and a SASE with 55d postage for a set or a
quarter and SASE with 32$ postage for a single piece.
The above information was learned as a result of sending out inquir-
ies to every celebration having a special cancelation made by the US Post
Office. Since many of these cancels refer to civic celebrations I write a
letter to the "Postmaster" where the cancel is being used and request he or
she forward the letter to the celebration chairman. I made up a form for the
chairman or Postmaster to fill out if woods were made or not. I only do this
for New York State. I get information about special cancels from Stamps
Magazine published down the road in Hornell NY. Want to try it for your area
Drop me a line and I'll send you a sample of what I have done. There is a
onus involved-You get some really great looking cancels on your SASE.
Don't bother sending for the cancel from Fostoria, Ohio if you see it
mentioned. We will have the info for you in Bunyan's Chips soon. I believe
this is the first time the US Post Office has ever made a cancel referring
to collecting of wooden nickels.
I'll see you in Fostoria!

Norm or Scotty, our’ editor, and we will tell you the details, including
the outrageous price-FREE. (Maybe people would be more willing to send in

portrait is "I don't have a black and white picture." Come to Fostoria,

image will be preserved for all to see in a future issue of Bunyan Chips.
