NEW BOOK: THE ARMSTRONG TOKENS
Steve Woodland of the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association forwarded this release on a new book on the Armstrong Shoe Mart tokens. Thanks! Inspired by Australasian
Tradesmen’s tokens issued in the mid-1800s, these were first struck in the 1970s at the Stokes mint in Melbourne, Australia and used as business cards in retail footwear stores in that country.

Written by Mike Carter and Ian Armstrong the catalogue picks up from the early work undertaken by Ian’s brother, Harold and Warren Amundsen. The catalogue includes all known Armstrong Shoe Mart token issues; Hall’s of Toorak issues; and associated materials issued by Ian such as medals and postcards. A rarity rating based on numbers issued has also been included. Only 100 copies of the catalogue have been printed. As well as the catalogue a new Armstrong Shoemart medal set was produced through the Canning Mint. Copies of the Catalogue or the new Armstrong Medals are available from Mike Carter or Ian Armstrong directly. Mike can be contacted on mike.carter@optusnet.com.au. Cost of the Catalogue is $20; postage $4.
