F.HARRISON Token

[bhx7]

Hi All

Looking to see if anyone has any information about this token.
It is 27.1mm and 5.3g Brass with signs of old gilding - Obv has F.HARRISON arched throufg centre; Rev is free of legend but has a rope and line outer circles and a more central rope circle.

Thanks

This seems familiar but I don't have it. possibly it was for a forerunner of this Harrisons

See Hayes 185. Harrisons rev. Eurocoin London with two slots, a similar brass token of much the same size.

I have only a later Harrisons above a large H with Dawlish below, rev blank brass 30mm Hayes 185.M1

They can be found here

Thanks Mal

I have the one Harrison Dawlish one you pictured. It may well be a forerunner to that one.
I will keep digging though to see if I can unearth anything more.

Cheers

It is rather a long shot but a possibility it stated small. Yes if you could search there it would help.

Google is very unhelpful nowadays as they use my location as a starting base which is most unhelpful, many Australian locations appear first.

They plan to set up a Google office here and I believe this will make things even worse.

Agreed, I have found sometimes Google is great, other times it is an absolute waste of time.
I am enjoying the research side and its always fun when you unearth something. Although similar to 185, definitely has different aspects. especiallly due to the "F" for first name.
If I find anything at this side I will definitely let you know.

Again, Thank for sharing your knowledge, etc.

Consider also that your token says Harrison, not Harrisons.
