Here's another trade token that probably has an error in spelling. The name "O'Brein" should probably be spelled "O'Brien" but no one seems to...
They are a tad better than my pics...well, a lot better actually.;) Bruce
I need one of those "reckoners" when I'm working on my Irish counterstamps.:D Love the Crystal Palace medal. Very impressive at 50mm and in white...
