AND THE MOTHER LODE OF TELEPHONE TOKEN INFO

  Jose Luis Rubio of Montevideo, Uruguay writes: "As I conduct
  the INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE TOKEN ASSOCIATION
  as Executive President, I suggested Sig. Marco Fiumani to join
  in E-Sylum and send you an appropriate report on ITALIAN
  TELEPHONE TOKEN NOTES.

  I.T.T.A. works informally only via Electronic Mail. It is
  dedicated to helping Telephone Token Students on all
  related subjects of tokens, medals, pay-phone and pay-over-the
  counter tokens. Some thing as The E-Sylum, but much more
  modest as we do not have weekly reports, just when the
  subject is available.

  The point is to update a world-wide Telephone Token Catalogue,
  as the last version of one is Henk Groenendijk's, published in the
  English language in The Netherlands, January 1989.  There are
  some good other partial catalogues, like the Brazilian in CD-ROM,
  by Helion de Mello e Olivera, which is mostly Portuguese and
  English.   Bob Gilbert and myself did the translation into English,
  which has some copying mistakes, but is readable and a must for
  the about 900 different Brazilian Phone tokens.

  Sig. Marco Fiumany is looking for a better reading copy than
  the ones I have, of  Targonsky's 1968 and Earl's Telephone
  token catalogues. With today's computers much better copies
  can be obtained.

  Just as well I am building a related Bibliography, covering
  Telephone Token books and magazine articles. At these last I
  sincerely need much help, as them cover all language written
  articles with when and where published information.  It also
  covers auction catalogues with interesting pieces.

  I will be happy to E-Mail interested parties an application
  form, which also points the general structure of I.T.T.A.,
  which is requested to be snail mailed back.  Contributions are
  voluntary. Any question will be answered with pleasure.
