  • Nice Conder Tokens, Stefanie.


    The Pain and Pandora token is unusual with one side not so funny, and the other side very funny.
    Can you please explain all of those objects beneath the breeches?

    Your Conder Conder is exceptional.   I like the small flaming red areas  of mint luster,  Free of problems, too.  : )

  • I have more information on this but its not currently handy.  The design below the breeches is said to be the head of Dr. Joseph Priestly  on the body of a snake, being severed by a dagger.  Samuel/Bell say that maybe the artist was implying Priestly was in part responsible for the attempt to set fire to the House of Commons (1792) ....using a pair of breeches packed with flammable material.  The pants were apparently found on fire in a 'water closet.'

  • So those may have been the first 'hot pants.'

    Thanks, Mike.  That's not what I was thinking, but I can now see the head plainly with the nose pointed downward.  : )
