Ex libris Robert Thompson

Sold for the benefit of the British Numismatic Society.

The references in this and the following 17 lots, some of which were de-accessioned from public libraries, were collected by the late Robert Thompson in connection with his background researches into seventeenth-century token issuers described in the Norweb Sylloge series. Those undertaking similar county research will find much essential information here.
