NEW BOOK: THE TOKENS OF WALES

Cox and Cox, 1994 Cox and Cox, 2012

Yosef Sa'ar of Elat on the Red Sea writes:

I just purchased copies of two books by Noel and Alan Cox, "The Tokens, Checks, Metallic Tickets, Passes and Tallies of Wales 1800-1993". The first edition came out in 1994 and Volume 2 two years ago. For me the important part was that both volumes contain chapters on Transport Tokens and Passes.

Of particular interest were the number of tokens and passes used on railways without any indication they were for transport. Also there is a photo and information on the scarce, oval Newport Transporter Bridge halfpenny. Likewise, there is a listing for a brass pass used on the Penmaenpool Bridge, a piece completely new to me.

Collectors interested in these books may contact: noel.cox1 (at) btinternet (dot) com. Prices are GBP 20 per volume plus shipping.

OK, so they're not "new", but they're new to The E-Sylum (I checked our archive). Thanks for sending the information! -Editor
