<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 8344028, member: 2100"]Rollhunter, Your exact token id is CA 445-Ci. The information cladking provided is from The Atwood-Coffee Catalogue of United States and Canadian Transportation Tokens. There are 3 volumes at various edition levels. The first volume describes metal, size, and description that allows one to determine the identification number, the number of varieties, the year issued and the value at time of printing. Volume 2 is a history and encyclopedia of the tokens. Pacific Electric has the first bus lines in Long Beach. Lang Transportation took them over on 1/9/40. Long Beach Lines bought Lang in 6/46. For your design of token, 400,000 were struck 9/47 and 100,000 were struck 10/59. Long Beach Lines was taken over by Long Beach Public Transportation Co. on 9/1/63, so I imagine that date or shortly after was the end of their use. Volume 3 enables one to determine identity of the varieties. My set of the 3 volumes have 2565 pages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
