retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 08/12/2014 8:50 pm My guess would be that this 2 mark token was issued by a brewery in Dachau that had a shooting league connection. There was a book about German tokens issued about 20 years ago which may list this one. Can't remember the title though, sorry. Edited by retiredkper 08/12/2014 8:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/12/2014 11:45 pm "Dachau" is now associated with the WW2 concentration camp, but the camp was only built in 1933, and Dachau the township has a history going back more than a thousand years. Dachau is about 20 kilometres (12 miles) north-west of Munich. It is now a popular residential area for people working in Munich with roughly 45,000 inhabitants. So, I imagine that a lot of beer-houses might have existed in the area, over that period. If you can't find a book on German tokens, maybe you could google a local history society in the area - this sort of ephemera is their bread & butter. Report this Post to the Staff

And unless this was issued very briefly during the beginning stages of Weimar hyperinflation, it would have to be post-WWII. As a guess, this was probably issued during the 50s or 60s.
