Hi Ruth

 

Thanks for the info. The London Transport Museum don't recognise it as
being specifically transport related, so it could well be that it's just
an unusual old tin that happens to have a collection of Tramways tokens
in it. No one on the list has been able to suggest otherwise, yet...!

 

Regards

 

Adam

	Hi Adam,

	 

	This is probably not very helpful, being purely anecdotal, but I
had a similar tin as a child in which I kept pennies, it was a bit
battered then, so was clearly older than me. I do not know where the tin
came from though. I am 47!

	Hi
	
	I've turned up this tin box in store, and am hoping someone has
seen an
	example before and can tell me something about it.
	
	It has three compartments (two accessed by lifting flaps at
either end,
	and one accessed by sliding a cover at centre).
	
	There are South Shields Corporation Tramways / Transport tokens
in the
	central compartment.
	
	I'm assuming it would be a box used by a conductor / ticket
collector on
	the trams, but if anyone can confirm or give me more info /
background
	etc that would be most helpful! I saw one on eBay recently, but
the
	listing didn't give me any extra information.
	
	Mine is 187 mm long x 96 mm deep x 32 mm high.
	
	Thanks
	
	Adam
