Comment

Oslo Sporveier was created in 1924 Operating under the same name until 2006. AT thast time the company was split into two companies. Sporveier was still one of the two companies.

Original lister of this token states " I could not find any dates for these tokens. Maybe someone else could update them if they can find the dates of manufacture. I would guess that these were made after German ocupation but still list them in the ruling athorties. "
