Here's the first from me. Apologies for my iPad photos not being anywhere near the standard of EF's excellent images.

Francis Shackelton, London, candle makers. The edge reads: Payable at Suffolk Street Haymarket. Nice that it retains some of the original lustre.

You have some lovely items in your collection.

There is a very rare error version of your token with "LODON" instead of "LONDON".

The frame on the reverse is a candlemaking frame. Francis Shackleton was "tallow maker" to the Duke of York, and had his business at 12 Little Suffolk Street. ( source - R C Bell ).
