BTW, Brian, I meant to ask you about the mark or damage on the reverse of the Jones coin. I can't see it clear enough to tell what it is though it looks like damage. I thought there was a possibility it might be a small counterstamp. Just curious. Thanks.

I would guess that Pressure Side is a description or partial description of a product. Unfortunately, something has been scratched off right under Salford which may have provided more information about the maker.

This isn't listed in Dr. Brunk's catalog but I'll look around a bit on my own. At least there's a small amount of information provided.
