Arminius Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 If i read the visible information correctly: Great Britain(?), Pub Token for Bagatelle Tables, P. Powell, Rodney Tavern, Thorp St., ca. 1840-1940 AD., Threepence Token (23 mm / 5,01 g), Obv.: P. POWELL. / RODNEY / TAVERN / THORP. ST , . Rev.: BAGATELLE / 3 D / TABLE , . I tried to find a location by web search - no clear results for such a token or pub location. Only one hint: There is a Thorp street in Birmingham B5, UK. Is this is a common street name in the UK? Maybe some old drunkard can help. WARNING: This post may contain high levels of sarcasm, stupid opinions and traces of peanuts. Reader discretion is advised.

constanius Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 As an old drunkard I can supply the information for a pint. The Old Rodney Tavern (Inn), proprietor Phoebe Powell, 49 Thorp Street, Birmingham. From History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Warwickshire, by Francis White & Co. 1850. There are many pubs named for the british naval hero Admiral Lord George Rodney, First Baron Rodney 1719-1792. They are named either The Old Rodney or The Lord Rodney or even Admiral Rodney etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Is this is a common street name in the UK? As for this; I would say that it is not. A nice token Arminius and well done Constanius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
