I AM a retired miner trying to find old brass pit cheques or tokens and tallies as they were sometimes called from different collieries. But I seem to have come to a standstill.

I wonder if any former miners who may have any of these would be kind enough to help me.

I would, of course, refund any postage costs.

Help would be very much appreciated.
