New token picked up with great die cracks and a Question

[dooly]

I have been after one of these in good condition and sensible money for a year now and finally won this one today as it was listed as a London merchant token

 

and after seeing the stunning cracks i said this it the one for the collection (thumbs u

 

i know they are a common token but boy are good ones hard to find

Also in my little old book they say there are 4 varieties of the hook and 5 of the Clevis variety has anyone got any pictures of the others as i may have a go at getting them.

 

sorry about the sellers pictures

sorry there Just bob i was being ignorant there..

 

The token is a Prince Edward Island token

 

the first local tokens first came out for the PEI area in 1840, The Rare Wheat sheaf was the first, Then came the SPEED THE PLOUGH types followed in the 1850s buy the Fisheries and agriculture..

all the best dooly
