Here's one example of a tradesman's stamp using only a surname, Jeff. This style isn't unusual. BTW, I never found out who Summers was. Bruce...
You know, Jeff, from the look of the stamp, I think you may have a merchant token rather than a religious piece. I've seen so many of these old...
"Great" coin, Trkdvr. I understand PCGS has a special designation for this type of coin. They grade it on a scale of 1-10, RK-1 to RK-10 that is....
Although this counterstamp is unlisted in Brunk, I'm fairly certain that I've found the issuer. This looks to possibly be a pocket piece from the...
It had an old look to me, coin_nut, but never imagined it to be that old. Thanks for the info. Bruce
Are these tokens dated, coin_nut? If not, do you know about when they were issued? Just curious. I like the look of this one a lot. Bruce
A very impressive bridge, Circus. I've crossed it a few times in my travels. The other bridge that really impresses me is the Tappan Zee that...
That's a great find! Congrats. Bruce
I can see why it's your favorite, Paddy. SUPERB! Bruce
I love all your medals, yarm. There are so many types of exonumia I'd like to collect, I just don't have the means to do so. Bruce

It very well could be a government inspector's stamp, Del. The owner may have worked for a contractor that manufactured something for the Navy. If...
Well done, LordM, on both counts. Bruce
That's a beautiful portrait on that one, longnine. It would look good on a U.S. coin depicting Liberty. Bruce
Here's another badly damaged William lll Half Penny dug by the same detectorist in the UK who dug the previous one I posted. This one has some...
I found my old train ticket stub. It was my mother-in-law's from when she traveled from Philadelphia to Ft. Pierce, FL. in 1943 to visit her...
Great research, LormM. Really puts a face to these interesting pieces. Bruce
Yeah, old Tim would be pushing 300 years old, LordM, but hey, he could be a Vulcan. I've actually come across the surname Lavender once before. I...
That's really unusual, gsalexn. It would be interesting to see how air travel was back then. A lot less comfortable than today, I'm sure. I have...
Separate names with a comma.
