Marshall's Paddington Brewery Limited, pre 1905 token in aluminium (24mm), reverse, 'Champion Gold Medal/Prize Ale/Coupon/Value 6d/For/2 Long Beers'. Extremely fine and scarce.
Marshall's Brewery was founded in 1857 by Yorkeshireman, Joseph Marshall. When he died his brewery was one of the largest in Sydney. His sons kept the business going privately until July 1888 when Marshall's Paddington Brewery was floated as a public company. When one of the sons, James Marshall, retired the business was restructured on 9 February 1904 as Marshall's Co-operative Brewery Limited. In 1909 the brewery property was sold and operations relocated to Short Street, Leichhardt. However, the brewery was purchased by Tooth & Co Ltd and closed in 1911. Ex Carl Veen Collection.
