Some nice pieces you have there. The one from Leeds that refers to St. Blaze/Blasius/Blaise as the "founder of our art" (artis nostrae conditor), of making wool, I find particularly interesting ...

nice collection. my favorite was the Liverpool 1 that ship is awesome.

 

Birmingham. Really nice, isn't it?

 

The man of war was used on several token issues, I have got 3 or 4 idifferent types in my collection. Could that be the link to the design of the half penny issued from 1937 to the end of £/s/d ?

 

more likely to be a merchant vessel,symbol of trade--but I might well be wrong

 

This is from Middlesex, part of the 300 year set I purchased for one of my grandsons.

 

A merchant vessel, perhaps. I was thinking of a frigate, due to the large number of gunports. But of course, it was not uncommon that gunports would be painted on the ship side only. Indiaman used to cover up as ships of the line by painting on Nelson chequers.
I wonder if it is possible to find out what this actual design was ment to be.

I like this design and grade! Although, I've payed $47 for it only.
