The hectic 1940s and the new tokens that came along with it.

The 40s was a weird decade for the world what with WWII and monopoly had to make tokens that looked like they were from chess. However, after the war the car with driver, howitzer, and airplame were added in the deluxe sets. This caused the purse, lantern, rocking horse, race car, shoe, and cannon to be in and out of sets. In addition the horse and rider, Scottie dog, and wheel barrow were also in and out of sets as well, the seemed to be experimental tokens at the time and we will talk more about them in the next page. Sadly, only one of the 1940s tokens survived the 50s, the first of the original 6 was

officially retired in 1946, and all but 1 of the new tokens from late 1935 and 1936 were retired. the image shows the airplane, howitzer, cannon, rocking horse, purse, car with driver, and race car.
