I see these on eBay once in awhile, D. I think you did good at $19. There are some that have a number counterstamped on the reverse that replaces...
Very nice, Paddy, but as you say, sad that these types of things don't always remain with loved ones. I've thought of this is regard to privately...
Please let me know how you do with the plaque if you sell it. An interesting piece for sure. Do sell on eBay, Paddy? Might get more exposure there...
BTW, Smitty, the GGG counterstamp advertised a hair preparation called Goodwin's Grand Grease Juice (believe it or not). It was sold by Charles H....
Yes, the small plaque is special, Paddy, and could possibly have some value to it. I thought perhaps it might be a portrait of a prominent...
That's a nice assortment of exonumia, Smitty. Your "Use / GGG" counterstamp is a good one. What type of coin is it struck on? Appears to be a S/L...
Nice lot of tokens, Paddy. I'm somewhat familiar with the Cumberland story, at least to his involvement in putting down the Jacobite rebellion...
Thanks for the information, Paddy. Apparently, the ship depicted is a generic sailing ship of the time, or I'm sure it would have been mentioned...
That's very interesting, Paddy. I love the ship reverse as well as the Queen's portrait. Do you know off hand what ship was used as a model, or is...

Here's two examples of another Irish political stamp I picked up a couple of years ago. I've documented over 20 of these in my census, so they...
I don't stress over coin/token or cent/penny terms either, Bill. Collectors call them what they will, and that's fine with me. BTW, I never did...
You're very elegant, longnine. Well said! Bruce
I did a bit of poking around on the "Votes For Women" counterstamps, Paddy, and came up with a seller on eBay / UK you might want to check into....
I see a lot of these when I search eBay/UK, Paddy. There certainly are legitimate ones around, but also modern reproductions on old coins. I'm not...
A nice one, dwhiz! Another locomotive for your collection. Bruce
I didn't think it was possible to OD on Folgers, Bill. I'm a heavy, long-time user though, so I only get a little twitchy.:D I didn't mean to...
I like your Borden's tag, Circus. I don't think Borden's is still in business. I don't recall seeing the brand for quite a few years, but maybe...
Thanks for showing your tokens, Paddy. As you might gather I enjoy all types of exonumia, especially tokens and counterstamps. Interestingly, once...
Masonic Pennies are an interesting area of exonumia to collect, Circus. There are other organizations such as the IOOF also who issue identifying...
Separate names with a comma.
