I have seen cataloged seven different celluloid, 23 millimeter, fare tokens used by the East India Tramways Co. Ltd. in Karachi. Would some kind collector be kind enough to post good photos of one or several of these tokens? I presume they were used in the 1920's. Listed colors include pink, orange, white, yellow, blue, black and green. They are not common.

Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.
