I have found a number of Condor and other tokens while appraising this collection that the owner wants to sell. Here is a sample of one of the Condor Tokens.
Hi @RichUrich , nice token! Just for clarification, they are Conder tokens -- named after James Conder, not named after the big birds.
Another beauty Larry , Do you have all your Conder pics in one place so people can admire a truly beautiful collection ?
No single website has photos of my entire Conder Token collection, Rusty, but many are pictured on Flickr, coinzip and Numismatic Society (numissociety.com) websites. Many of my Civil War Tokens are also featured on those websites.
