Adams, W. |
According to Davis (1904) a certain Webster Adams, pipe-maker at Currer’s Lane, Ipswich. Waters (1957) on the other hand considers it rather rare for such small a business to have issued tokens, and identifies W. Adams as the grocer W. Adams, who filed for bankrupcty in 1814. Withers (2010) agree to the latter view. Adams issued tokens in 1811/1812. Lit.: W. J. Davis, The Nineteenth Century Token coinage of Great Britain Ireland the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man to which are added Tokens over one Penny value of any period (1904/Nachdruck 1969) p. 135 no. 3; A. W. Waters, Notes on the Silver Tokens of the Nineteenth Century (1957) p. 13 unter Ipswich; P. and B. R. Withers, The Token Book.
