Here's a counterstaped coin I picked off eBay about a year or so ago. It's probably not an ID badge but more likely an "advertisement' for the party. Although crudely struck, I thought it was an interesting piece. Sorry about the poor picture...it's a copy of a copy.

Another nice token...medal?...pickup from the last Baltimore show. I think another example may have been posted earlier on CT but I'm not sure.

Was the one I posted a while ago

 

Went to FIRSTENERGY STADIUM yesterday to the Reading Fightin Phils play the Erie Seawolves. Erie is in first place Reading in last so it's easy to see the fight was out of the Fightin Phils

 

I bought this counterstamped 1797 English Penny from a UK collector a week or so ago. Other than modern Irish political stamps, I don't buy many foreign examples. This is one I liked a lot.
The stamps are all of English cutlers who worked in Sheffield from the early to mid 1800s. The names, in case you can't read them, are John Carr, Robert Sorby, Joseph Mappin, and Steer & Webster. Brunk lists Sorby but none of the others. A brief history of each follows.
*** Sorby --- Born in Sheffield February, 1787 and died there in November, 1859. Around 1841 he took his sons (Robert and Thomas) into the business and changed it's name to Robert Sorby & Sons. Over the years he manufactured a variety of edge tools, saws, scythes, etc.
*** Carr --- Listed in the 1825 Sheffield directory as a pen knife manufacturer working at 10 Duke St. I couldn't determine the years he was at the South St. address stamped on the coin.
*** Mappin --- Born in Yorkshire (date unknown) and died in Sheffield in September, 1841. In 1825 directories listed his company as Joseph Mappin & Son (Frederic T.) He was an engraver, copper plate printer, and manufactured buttons and spoons at 55 Fargate (later at Pepper Alley). Apparently, he was in business from 1810 until his death in 1841. I didn't find a listing for him at 32 Norfolk St., the address in his counterstamp. The "sun" logo that appears below his name was his mark.
*** Steer & Webster --- The partners were probably Joseph Steer and Leonard Webster but I'm not certain. Their manufactory in Sheffield, the Castle Hill Works, produced scissors and other edge tools. The company was founded in 1833 and sold out to George Butler & Co. in 1867. The key (hard to see) above their name is the company's logo or mark.

The stoves were lined with copper as a rust preventative measure.
The company was in business from 1899 to 1985.

 

Some very interesting items since I re-posted the steam coinage token all very nice!

 

Try to say that three times real fast. I'd probably wind up saying something that wouldn't be acceptable at the dinner table. Nice token willieboyd! BTW, these weren't attributed until about ten years ago.
Rulau lists these in his token catalog, in the Gay-90s section I believe.

I remember you posting this one now Circus.

Here is an odd piece I've had for many years, its copper, about the size of a Half Cent.
Design is crude, incuse and in retrograde, but nicely done, the reverse is blank except for the engrailed circle which is shown on the obverse. It actually says "Liberty" in the head band but as I mentioned the entire design is reversed.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Stephen
