[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2352166, member: 24314"]I didn't remember any disagreements :facepalm:. Did they get worked out one way or another or do we still disagree? For over 40 years I've call these things "Condor Tokens." That's what my mentors called them. I just looked in my D&H figuring that's where that spelling (perhaps a British thing) came from but only found the word "token." I looked in several other books with no luck. Long story short, I just looked up "British Condor Token" on Google and found both spellings! "Conder" many be the correct word but I don't think I will be able to correct myself from an old habit.:shame: After more research, I did learn something new (as I did not understand/know about "your" Conder). In "Trade Tokens - a social and economic history by Whiting, I read that a James Conder authored a token book. BINGO! He is the Conder you wrote about. THANKS! So I better learn the correct spelling after all so I don't appear to be an ignorant fart.:shame:[/QUOTE]
