Birmingham Workhouse Token Information

RareBronzeCollector

Does anyone have a copy of Dalton & Hamer, that can scan the pertinent pages for me, referencing the silver and copper Birmingham Workhouse Tokens of 1811-1814.....

Although not my primary field of interest, there is something about them that I find intriguing... Possibly some Dickensian aspect or such.....

Anyway, I have a few pieces and would like to find out the different varieties, so I can catalog them.....

Thanks to all.....

The Birmingham Workhouse tokens are later than the tokens covered by Dalton & Hamer.

The current "bible" on the tokens of this period is British Copper Tokens 1811-1820 by Paul and Bente Withers. This has somewhat replaced the classic book on the topic by W. J. Davis.

Thanks for that information...

In that case, I'll rephrase my request to:

Does anyone have any information, listing specific varieties and dates, of the silver and copper Birmingham Workhouse Tokens of 1811-1814.....that can scan the pertinent pages, and email them to me....

Thanks again....

I've got nothing. I looked through my reference material, but no luck.
I'd recommend maybe checking auction sites for prior sales (Ebay, Heritage, etc.) and
look on websites currently selling tokens. I think Bill McKivor has a site or a fixed price list
that may have some information for you.
