A must have for any ‘Conder’ collector. This one has been in private hands for many years and is a splendid example. Fantastic eye appeal. James Conder was a linen draper and an avid collector of tokens. He was the author of the book on the series until Atkins’ book came along in 1892. This is why many Americans refer to our tokens as ‘Conder’ tokens.
