Hello everyone,
Simon the token dealer from Suffolk here, with another nice Birmingham token to offer you all.
Monometer Birmingham.....this is an aluminium token from World War One encouraging everyone to “Save Your Tin” in an effort to conserve resources for the war effort.
The company, Monometer Furnaces still exist. Looking at their own history on their website, I can date this to WWI because by the 1920’s they had moved production to The Strand in London, so by WW2 they had no association with Birmingham and therefore would not have put Birmingham on any token produced.
As with all my tokens, it is for sale if anyone is interested.
