Re: post #8185 and 8186
Found some more info on this interesting c/s. JPL thanks for your
earlier input! Got this info from J.Gavin Scott's: British Countermarks
on Copper and Bronze Coins.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"#77 Perthshire Deanston 77.1 & 77.2 Adelphi Cotton Works or Deanston
Cotton Mills. These cotton spinning mills were erected in 1785 on the
south bank of the river Teith to the west of Doune by John Buchanan of
Carston and his brothers, formerly linen yarn merchants with connections
in Manchester. At the time they employed about 700 workers ........
appearing before the Select Committee enquiring into payment of wages in
1842, James Smith (appointed as manager in 1808) said that his
establishment always paid in current coin and that the truck system did
not operate there. it is probable, however, that the truck system
applied at the mills BEFORE 1808 and that these countermarked pieces are
truck tickets. The Alelphi countermarks seem to be earlier, probably all
dating from before 1794. Similar countermarks also appear on silver
coins - see Davis 89,93."
---------------------------------------------------------------
J.Gavin Scott notes in a chart that this particular Deanston c/s is also
found on:
1/2d Charles II (Batty 3452), Bawbee Charles II 1/2d (Davis 94), George
II 1/2d (Davis 94), George III Counterfeit 1/2d (Bliss Sale Catalog),
George II 1/2d, George III penny 1797 (Duffield 270), Dundee 1/2d (SNC
Nov.1905), W.Crooms Manchester 1/2d (SCMB Mar.1965), Irish 1/2d George
II (J.G.Scott collection)
Interesting to note the use of a counterfeit George III 1/2d as a host
coin for this counterstamp after 1794, which is when Scott notes the
Deanston c/s replaces the Adelphi c/s.
