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

It's just that I got my PCGS grades.
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.
