Wooden nickels issued for Northwest Territory sesquicentennial celebrations in 1937–38 were a minor craze across Ohio and the wider Old Northwest — dozens of towns minted their own commemorative scrip, most in very limited runs, exchangeable at local merchants during the celebration period. Portsmouth's version, overseen by a General Committee rather than any banking authority, carried no legal tender status whatsoever. The Fletcher and Strickland signatures are committee officer credentials, not financial endorsements.
Wood tokens of this type warp, split, and delaminate readily in humid storage. Flat, unwarped examples are genuinely harder to find than the issue numbers suggest.
