JAMES CONDER'S TOKENS

  In response to Harold Welch's inquiry, Gar Travis writes:
  "according to the book "The Young Collector  ENGLISH
  COINS AND TOKENS" by L.L. Jewitt, F.S.A. and
  Barclay V. Head, M.R.A.S.; Fourth Edition 1892, in a
  section referring to tokens (pages 64-93 on page 73 -
  quoted below- )...they are called: "Traders' Tokens"....

  So, perhaps we can assume that the term Conder was
  not in use in 1892, though the section primarily covers
  17th century tokens, later issues are mentioned and are
  likewise designated "Traders' Tokens."

  "In that year the Copper Companies and others again
  resorted to the issue of batches of tokens, and these
  continued to increase and to be issued in large numbers
  until 1817, when, by Act of Parliament passed on the
  27th of July, their manufacture was prohibited, and their
  issuers ordered, under penalties for disobedience, to take
  up all they had issued before 1st of January, 1818.  This
  came entirely to an end the issue of Traders' Tokens in
  this country."
