Help with indentifying counterstamp on my 1846 W.W.Wilbur Auctioneer token


Recommended Posts

I am trying to identify the counterstamp on this 1846 Wilbur Auctioneer token.

It has a similar five pedal flower counterstamp close in design to the flower design on my other token which is the 1838 Am I Not A Woman & A Sister token.

 

I tried to look up the counterstamp and have had no luck. I thought that maybe someone would recognize it.

 

I am taking some wild guesses here but.....

Could the counterstamp mean that the owner of the counterstamp was for freedom of slaves?

Even though it was on a slave auctioneer token it could have been his own protest against slavery?

 

It may be a huge stretch.....but maybe there are slave tags that have counterstamps

like this one?

 

Any help or suggestions of whom to get in touch with would be greatly appreciated.
