The original 6

The " Original 6 " as they are called, are the first six tokens to join the new monopoly game. Before these there were what appeared to be clay tokens, paper tokens, and sometimes even no tokens! However, at around 1935 or 1936 when the game started to get popular and became owned by Parker Brothers, the first 6 normal metal tokens where added. These being:

Canon

battleship

iron

thimble

Shoe

top hat

These where the first tokens. Only 2 of which remain today. In 2017 the thimble and shoe were retired. The iron was retired in 2013. The canon was retired in 1946 and was the first token to be officially retired ever.
