Tokens with Breton #s not in the Charlton Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens (10th Edition)
Breton 600 Series Part 1: Token numbers Br-600 to Br-633 While a large number of the tokens listed in P.N. Breton's catalogues from 1894 and 1912 are listed and re-catalogued in the 10th Edition of the Charlton Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens, not all tokens were re-catalogued. This section details most of the "600 Series" Breton tokens not found in the Charlton catlogue. NOTE: Click on any photo to load a much larger version of the same photo |
