Click to view full-size. 1935 late Patent Pending game Tokens through 1936 These were found in the Parker Brother #7 boxes and $ Editions. Note the addition of the car token. The Dowst Manufacturing Company made these early die cast tokens with a Zinc alloy called Zamak. It is also referred to as Pot Metal or White Metal. The dark oxidation, which is very common with many of the early tokens (1935-1938), was a result of impurities in the manufacturing process. By the late 1930s these impurities were eliminated. |
