Hi All,
I wouldn't call myself an avid Conder collector, but I enjoy them. There's so much variety, history and general weirdness going on with them. Yesterday I had a piece come in the mail from Druid's Cache, a particular type that I've always liked. I love this reclining shepherd and the whole pastoral vibe to it (Worcestershire Dudley DH7 1790). Lets see your Conders!

I used to have so many of these in the 1990s. I'd have to go through my files to find any old images, but your token and images are terrific.

I like Conder tokens too but don't own any (yet).
About a decade ago there was a guy on here that was mad about them and had an extensive Conder tokens collection.
Search for cosmicdebris and enjoy his posts

I remember cosmicdebris. I wonder what ever happened to him.

That is an amazing token. I would get into these more if I had the money.

Not a token …but what is this ?
Maybe it is a token ?

First one I ever had years ago. Liked them a lot at the time.
