Wooden nickels issued for sesquicentennial celebrations were a genuine regional phenomenon in Depression-era America — cheap to produce, easy to distribute, and just acceptable enough as trade tokens that local merchants would honor them during the event period. Portsmouth, Ohio had particular claim to the Northwest Territory anniversary: the town sits in Scioto County, directly within the original Territory boundaries established by the Ordinance of 1787, which banned slavery north of the Ohio River decades before the Civil War made it a national issue.
Fletcher and Strickland signed as committee officers, not as officials of any banking or governmental authority. These were never legal tender by any definition.
