KoiNoKollector New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 2:54 pm I have received this token in a mixed lot of world coins. Despite the fact that is says clearly on it that it is "Luna Park", I cannot seem to find it anywhere on the internet. I have had no luck in identifying a date or country of origin (as there are many Luna Parks in the world). Does anyone know anything about this token, or can anyone give me a lead? Thanks!

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/15/2013 3:26 pm Found an identical one in an old ebay.com listing from a seller from Blackpool, Lancashire. No details, though, and the seller has tokens from a number of countries. http://www.ebay.com/itm/350800645250 Report this Post to the Staff

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 06:14 am There was a Luna Park around Pittsburgh, and one in Egypt, it was the first western style one in Africa. It doesn't show up in the token catalog data base under LUna park on either coast of the US. Report this Post to the Staff
KoiNoKollector New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 11:02 am Hi all! Wow thanks for all the responses! I also found that old ebay post, but the best details it had were that the token was "world" and "20th century". Not super useful. ;) So if it is not Australia or American, where might I look for it? To be honest I am more of a coin collector, so I am not familiar with all of the resources I can use to look this up.... Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help. :D Report this Post to the Staff
Jim Delaney Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 10:33 pm Luna Park was an Amusement Park of the early 1900's that was located in what is now West Seattle. Below is one of their tokens which is 23mm and aluminum. Might be a place to look. Report this Post to the Staff
