The Tokens of W.W. Wilbur of Charleston, S.C. Auctioneer
« on: November 18, 2009, 12:57:35 PM »
An interesting follow up on the previous slave tokens is this one. It fails to let you know
the main income from auctions were slaves!

A great read is here http://www.angelfire.com/sc2/tokenofthemonth/token028/






I have not been able to identify the counterstamp.

That's pretty neat.  Can you tell me the significance or origins of the flower stamps?  They have me curious....

Oops, I missed this part of your description.  Now that I think about it, I'd bet that Greg (Savoyspecial) would know.
