1905-1950
In April 1905 Newcastle Corporation announced that had started issuing celluloid tokens on the 3rd April[1]. The 1d tokens were being sold in packets of 60 for 5/-. The 1/2d tokens were being sold in packets of 60 for 2/6. The Montague Guest collection, donated to the British Museum in 1907, contained an orange 1d and white 1/2d, suggesting that these were the first issue.
