brg5658 - Both amazing examples, I really like the Dudley Token and have been looking for one myself that is as nice as yours. That Herefordshire appears to be either a proof or a bronzed token at least, none of the TPGs are really good at grading nor attributing Conders.

Here is one of my recent Stack's/Bowers Auction purchase, from a lot of cast and electrotype colonial coinage.  Carl Wilhelm Becker (1772-1830) was a German who made copies of Ancient coinage. This was made by Peter Rosa, of New York, who made numerous copies of original coins and other copies of Ancient coinage (from the British Museum) under the Becker Manufacturing Company name. His work included most everything having to do with numismatics. He was an employee of Taylor Manufacturing, and decided to go into the replica business in 1955, possibly because of Paul Franklin and John Ford. This was a tribute piece to Carl Becker. This example has "BECKER" clearly stamped into the edge.
