Your counterstamp probably reads "BRINGHURST & KIRBY," Michael. John Henry Bringhurst was one of the early Philadelphia sawmakers c1840s. He...
I just bought a new pictorial counterstamp and need some help identifying it. If anyone recognizes the symbol or has a comment I'd appreciate...
I agree with ExoMan, H8. As soon as I saw your pic I assumed it was a war relic. As far as the hole position goes, it would be an odd place to...
I like these old49er, but don't have any Conders in my collection yet. So many other things I have more interest in, I just never got around to...
I forgot about Ernie, PennyGuy. I haven't bought much from him over the years, but he and Steve both have a great reputation. Bruce
I'd contact Steve Hayden about your token, Dallas. He's a huge CWT seller, and was involved in the new editions of both books. He has a mail bid...
I've seen one or two on Dimes, Fretboard. This one looks completely legit to me, but if you're uncomfortable with something you have to walk away....
I like it, fretboard. Most of these are on Quarters, so being struck on a dime is a bit unusual. There's only about 20 examples of this...
Love your detailed description of the properties of tin, and how it's affected by different environmental conditions, Paddy. A friend of mine in...
...and beautiful. Outstanding medal, yarm! Bruce

No problem, Paddy. I actually don't like Scotch Whisky or Bourbon so I was only kidding about having a Rob-Roy before dinner. Now bring a bottle...
No Paddy, I was just looking at the reverse of the token where it listed the different brands(?) of pens they made. I was commenting on what I...
That's a beauty, old49er. Very impressive. Bruce
Nice tokens, Paddy! I like the pen manufacturer's piece best. I'll take a Rob-Roy <LOL> Bruce
I'd like to see a photo of it, Larry. Just click on "Upload a File" below, and do it that way. Bruce
I haven't seen this one before, NIkki, and have no idea what the stamp means. Can you post a picture of it? That might give me some ideas. Bruce
I've seen these tokens before, Circus, and like them. Do you know if the denomination denotes a monetary value, or a quantity of tea. Nice simple...
Thanks for the information, Paddy. I'll have to get the reference book on Conder Tokens one of these days. I don't collect them, but have always...
