I have never heard of these tokens. What were they used for and how did one get one? They appear to be made of metal, whereas the BCT ones I saw were a form of 'plastic'.
 
Lyn, ebay is a fixture for me at the minute looking for cars, so will take a break from that and see if I can find any.

lyn, none of the ones you are looking for, only 3 on there, probably the ones you saw, General Elliot/Dr Johnsons head, Moore Street, Bellefield Winson Road and Birmingham Arms 331 Dudley Road and the Smal Heath Tavern.
Have opened a search so will let you know if any come on.

I have a friend who is a collector of such tokens, I have taken the liberty of sending him an email, so we can see if he comes back with anything.
 
oh thanks morturn that is very kind of you...i have quite a few framed pics of the pubs of interest to me and i was thinking it maybe nice to also add a token in the frames...

cheers...
