Canadian Countermark

E.D. RADCLIFFE (curved) / an anchor / ONT. counterpunched on obv. of Norway 24 skilling (M.I. 760). Piece holed.

This is a personal pocket piece, and because it has been marked on what appears to be a plain copper disc should not be included here, not having met the criterion of having an undertype; it is simply an incused piece. This is evidently the man listed as a shoemaker in Aylmer in the Ontario gazetteer and directory for 1901/02. His career as a shoemaker began many years prior to this as he was also found in the town of Straffordville, Elgin County, Ontario, according to the Illustrated historical atlas of the County of Elgin, Ont., by H.R. Page & Co., Toronto, 1877. The Federal Census of 1881 lists this shoemaker, still in Bayham, as having been born in 1856. (Marked Impressions).

Note: this lot is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
