1793 Manchester Halfpenny Token - D&H 135e

The figure of the porter reminds me too well of my youth. At least we practiced an 80lbs limit to loads.

    Nice token! I have both 135e and 135h.

    No proof, but I think that #135 is the most common of the Manchester tokens manufactured by Lutwyche for John Fielding, a grocer and tea dealer.
    #127 features the Arms, Crest, Supporters and Motto of the Grocers Company and the East India House - headquarters of the East India Co.
    #128-134 features the Arms, etc. of the Grocers Company and the bale mark of the East India Co.
    #135 as shown by your token.
    Each of these 3 designs are quite common and easily run into.

    I figured that the engrailed edge suggested some likelihood of stepped up production for this issue as well. I'd love to see examples of the others you mention!
