MORE ON JOSEPH RUTLADER

Regarding Bruce W. Smith's query for more information on dealer Joseph Rutlader, Ron Benice writes:

Tokens issued by Joseph Rutlader purporting to be from Alaska have confounded collectors for decades. Here's the listing from the third edition of my Alaska and Yukon Tokens (McFarland, 2010) under Goodnews Bay where there had been an actual business called Alaska Traders. An illustration of the tokens from an earlier edition is also shown here.

Dave Schenkman writes:

The bit on Rutlader rang a bell; I have a 1794 2 Reales with A. N. FORD counterstamp. Below that RUTLADER KANSAS is counterstamped in two lines. This part is of a completely differently style, and was obviously done much later.

Thanks folks. While these responses don't specifically address Bruce's question of why Rutlader's name was stamped on the back of a piece of Ceylon naval scrip, they do show him promoting his business with multiple numismatic creations. These items and the Ceylon piece may only be the tip of the iceberg of everything he stamped his name on. -Editor
