I found these today at a construction site and I know they are not old but I am thinking the first half of the 20th century. The dime is a 39 and the wheats range from 1917 to 1946. The token reads For Amusement Only on one side and This Token Has No Cash Or Trade Value on the other side. I think it is brass. Am I close on the dating?

I have found that type of token at an amusement park that was started right around the mid 1890's. So I figure that token I have was a good bit newer than the start of the park. So your time frame is very good indeed. I always thought mine were from the 20's - 40's.
