It's I suck time! New Conders arrived today

These 2 beautiful pieces arrived today.

The first first one: Middlesex Corresponding Society D&H 290.

It was common practice when publishing libelous material to print the first and last letter of the individual's name, leaving the reader to fill in the blank. This flimsy expedient was sufficient to evade the laws of libel. In the obverse legend the diesinker has left little to chance; P eye T could hardly be mistaken for anyone but William Pitt, the Prime Minister.

Pitt began his political life as a supporter of Parliamentary Reform, but with his accession to power he was forced to suppress the more seditious elements in their aims to overthrow the government. He proposed the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act to suppress sedition and conspiracy which received the assent of Parliment in 1794. the sarcastic reference on the obelisk to Peace in 1796 is directed against the Prime Minister, and refers to the abortive mission of Lord Malmesbury to Paris in that year.

The reverse design is based on the cypher of the London Corresponding Society; one of the most affected by Pitt's measures.

The second one: Cornwall Penryn D&H 4.

I have no story for this one but on one side you have a shield of arms with 3 Unicorns and the other side a laureated bust with Penryn Volunteers on a ribbon. This piece is really a nice glossy brown that I could not quite fully capture in this image.

    Wowsers!! Are all these on the Bay of E, or do you have secret sources of these?

    Not that I'm shopping, or planning on buying one, or two, or so...I'm not. Really. I'm not going to buy any of these conder thingys. Ever. Ever. Never. Ever.

    Sigh.

    I really like the unicorns, and the historical context as well.

    Cool pieces. I like #2 best.

    Don't worry. While LM may succumb at some point, you know I won't collect conders. Still too many holes to fill.

    Ones like these will never make it to the Bay of "E". As far as secret source, if you collect Conder Tokens seriously you'll know where to find 'em image

    Missed these beauties whilst enjoying Florida, but I would be remiss not to say, "YOU SUCK"!
