Hi, Trying to ID a few communion tokens or lead tokens I've acquired: The first one is possibly from around Glasgow, being square but is perhaps too large at 26mm across. The date is 1801 and I think the initials in the centre are MR (Minister?) J.B. Around the edge of the inner circle, A is on the left, O/C/Co above and possibly O or G to the right. Hard to be sure. The others are just initials as you can see. B.P is 19mm, K.I is 19mm, L is 15mm, TM is 21mm. They could just be lead/hop tokens but they came with a bunch of other tokens, all communion tokens.
CTs First one is B216 known as Ayr square (single circle in center), used by Assoc Church in Ayr -- this one from Galston; second one is B963 from Bunkle-Preston in Berwick; DK 3rd one; fourth one is difficult as do not know size, but Burz lists several single L squares; last one is R/TM B5804 from Rosehall in Sutherland. If you like CTs, go to Collect Communion Tokens blogspot. Mike
It is a great help when trying to ID a token if you measure it i mm or 16th of an inch. This let you determine where some tokens are from if the have only a letter on them.
