BP Skatkis & Shell Tokens

[BumbleBee 10]

Can anyone help with a bit of info like when and why these tokens were made? I don't collect this stuff but I am a little curious.

looks like something to do with space travel. Veldpond is a valuable ZAR coin

 

Google it!!

I remember these tokens. I was still a little girl when BP had this. Year - not sure but I think round about 1975 - 1977? Can be wrong

Moppies, you are still a dear little girl and remind me of the English poem

There was a little girl, who had a little curl

Right in the middle of her forehead.

When she was good, she was very very good

And when she was bad she was horrid.

 

There were lots of tokens around in the 1970's - many of them at the time when we had petrol restrictions and one couldn't buy petrol after 5 p.m. Does anyone remember those horrible times?

Actually I would appreciate a little curl!!

 

Goodness - can I remember those days. We were on holiday somewhere between "niks en nerens" and we had to wait at the petrol station till the next morning!! Mom was LIVID and dad, dear dad, he was only smiling....
