@ancient_tokens @laBnF Are there any surviving tokens from this mould?

[bespokepewter @bespokepewter]

@WiltshireMuseum And trickier than it looks to execute. I may have to play with this a bit more..

[bespokepewter @bespokepewter]

Tweaked an old finicky mould yesterday, and now it casts like a charm. It's like I've learned a thing or two. the Mulberry Bush livery badge of the Mowbray Dukes of Norfolk. Original is in the @MuseumofLondon MoL 90.255/6

@WiltshireMuseum Simple but effective. Love it!

@GaryBankhead None of the Heraldry nerds I know can identify the arms, but the blazon is something like "(Tincture), on a cross (tincture), a three flowered lily (tincture) and in chief two fountains.

[bespokepewter @bespokepewter]

@GaryBankhead those charges in the upper quarters are fountains. https://t.co/95sT2PZUDj

Shiny new Medieval ecclesiastical tokens. Any Ideas as to where they might be for?

@FLODurhamFLO @findsorguk A bit of thread Necromancy. The Feet. I think it's a Hart Couchant.

@FLODurhamFLO @Rob_Webley @Tostig1066 @findsorguk I'm inclined to think the same way as @Rob_Webley, the initials, the detail is fussy but in the wrong way, the detailing on the back is a non medieval weirdness, and it's really big. Is it pure lead, rather than lead/tin by any chance?

@biztradegovuk @JohnGlenUK, Are you in favour of this bullshit?

[bespokepewter @bespokepewter]

@pokedstudiouk @biztradegovuk This!

@acambridgediary Barad-dûr looks quite different from the back..

@amy_historia Is this the More bit of 'Take a thousand Eggs or more'?

@ancientcraftUK @emmalouwynjones What's your best guess as to the difference in time to manufacture between a stone and copper axehead?

@spmaslin @findsorguk Right there on the page in front of me, and I missed it.
😀

[bespokepewter @bespokepewter]

@spmaslin @hookmoor @findsorguk nowadays they are sold in discerning Cathedrals.. :D

[bespokepewter @bespokepewter]

@spmaslin @findsorguk That is delightful! It's a better executed version of the one in Mitchener and Skinner's English Tokens, c.1200 to 1425, (see https://t.co/mH6TvH3QNU , plate 4 no 41)
