Comments

These key tokens were introduced in 1946 and valued at US $1.00, 50 Cents, and 25 Cents; they were designed by Wasey’s daughter Jane, and used for gaming and as souvenirs. XRF testing shows the correct metallic make up, which differs from the compositions given by Lyall. They were reintroduced in 1967.
