daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1057 Posts	Posted 05/16/2025 7:16 pm Just a few tickets from my collection of about fifty overall, which includes thirty or so from the collections of Francis Cokayne. In the group shot, the one at top right dates to Sotheby's Robinson sale in 1904. Two are from the Norman sale eight months later, also by Sotheby's, and one from the 1911 Davis sale at Glendening's. (That's W.J. Davis, who in 1904 published the first major catalog on the series I collect.) The barely legible flip side of the first ticket, at the upper left, indicates a 1901 private treaty purchase. Interestingly, I've been able to locate and download all three of the auction catalogs represented here from the Newman Numismatic Portal. I imagine that pretty soon I'll have memories of attending those sales with Francis! As for this one, can anyone tell me whose it was? I have a couple in this hand but no clue as to what collection they're from. Thanks in advance!

daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1057 Posts	Posted 05/16/2025 8:34 pm Hi, Spence, and thanks for asking! That would be the penny issued in 1813 by William Baker, a lace and hosiery manufacturer from St. Marysgate in Notts. Withers 935m, Davis 15, 34mm, 20.6g, dies . Upon review, it appears this ticket's already been attributed -- right here, last October, by first4 and Tom Goodheart -- to A.H. Baldwin (1858-1936) the founder of A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd. I guess that explains why it's been sitting on my desk for the last six months!
