The Laurels Hingeston St Brookfields - PUB TOKEN

Hi everyone.

Yes its Simon ''THE TOKEN TRADER'' from Suffolk here again and look what I have for you guys this time.....

A 3d token from The Laurels in Hingeston Street Brookfields from around the late 1890's to early 1900's.

I know its about that date as it has Ronsbach Natural IMG_4272.JPGIMG_4271.JPGSparkling Table Water advertised on the reverse so (1) its from the time of The Temperance Movement because why else would a pub advertise water and (2) if you research Ronsbach there isn't very much about them after around 1905.

As with all my tokens it is for sale, so I am offering up to my Birmingham buddies first before I advertise more widely within my own collecting fraternity.

Anyone interested, please make me an offer.

Are the tokens stil on offer
 
There's a great list of old pubs in the Black Country, www.longpull.co.uk. Does anyone know if there's a similar list for B'ham pubs please? I've got some pub tokens I'd like to try and put a date to.
 
Thanks Simon, the one I'm looking at the moment is 3d from the Peacock Inn, Darwin Street, G. Luckman. I've done a bit more searching online and found out via pubwiki.co.uk that George Luckman seems to have been the publican around 1881. I've just started looking at and buying a few pub tokens...great history and really makes you wonder who handled them and where they've been over the last 100+ years!
