What a trove of numismatic information!
Next I wrote to NBS President Marc Charles Ricard - that's his father's bookplate.
-Editor
Marc Ricard writes:
My father placed these bookplates in many of the volumes that he owned over the years. It is his original design, and includes the beaver, which appears on the Ricard Family Canadian Coat of Arms. The Charles coin was for his first name, the beaver represents our Canadian ancestors who were fur traders, and the French graphics for our origins near Marseilles.
I told Calvin I was curious about the "Dustman" Farthing, and the Leather Money Medal.
He forwarded the following scans of the articles. Thanks!

Leather Money
The "Dustman" Farthing
Calvin adds:
I tried Googling the "Dustman Farthing", and, all kinds of variations, all to no avail. I did pull up a "hobo" style 1d, but it's probably modern. I'd give an eye tooth to find a real 1890 hobo farthing from George Pardoe.
I came up empty, too. Can anyone supply images or more information on Pardoe and his creations? Thanks.
