Omschrijving
Een Engelse token van de boerderij West Molesey (onjuist op de token als "Molesley"!?) uit de period 1893-1897 van Staines Boorman, geslagen door R. Neal in Percival Street, E.C. (London) met een waarde van 1 penny. Deze "fruit picker's tokens" werden per gewicht gegeven aan de dagloners en konden aan het eind van de week worden omgewisseld voor normaal geld. Dit is een vrij zeldzame, vierkante munt van 6.55 gram en 30x30 mm, met name de ongebruikelijke spelling van Molesley en het feit dat bij de firma van R. Neal niet de toevoeging van "West Percival Street" met een huisnummer (49-50) is vermeld. Bijgaand wat informatie over de boerderij van Boorman:
In September 1893 John Wingfield Malcolm of Poltalloch, Argyllshire, leased West Molesey Farm to Staines Boorman and Joshua Taylor, both of Heath House, Send (formerly of Batley, Yorks), for 4 years. The following May, Taylor dissolved his partnership with Boorman and became the sole leaseholder. That should date the tokens to 1893-1897.
Staines Boorman: found him aged 6 in the 1871 census living with his parents and siblings in the bizarrely named village of Catweazle, Kent. His father Henry is a grocer and draper. In 1891 he's single, living with a servant, at Heath or Pound Farm, Send, Surrey (near Woking), and is a farmer and fruit grower.
Apparently then comes the interlude at West Molesey for 4 years.
I can't find him in 1901, but in 1911 he's at the same place in Send again, now with a wife and two daughters, and still (or once more) a farmer and fruit grower. Oddly I can find no death record for him.
Leuke munt in nog prima staat.
