Not as far as I am aware.

CARTER, E C

Dr Ernest Christison Carter, collection acquired by Baldwin post-mortem in 1950. Tickets are usually 31-32mm, but other sizes are known. The second image shows a Carter ticket with the reverse by J M Ashby whose collection was sold at Spink in July 2000

ASHBY, J M

J M Ashby's collection of English silver coins was sold at Spink in July 2000. Tickets are white card, 24mm diameter, description on one side, acquisition and provenance info on the other. The ticket below duplicates that written on the back of the Carter ticket for the same coin.

Webb, H

Henry Webb Snr, the main collection sold by Sotheby in 1894 and 1895. Some coins appear to have been re-acquired by the family and kept until sold by H Webb Jnr to Baldwin sometime around WW2. Lockett bought a considerable number of pieces, the reverse of the ticket indicating that the coin was part of lot 1509 in his English part 2 sale in 1956 - this probably written by either Baldwin or the subsequent owner.

The tickets are on flimsy paper and made octagonal, presumably to fit into the circular holes of a tray. They come in various sizes, reflecting the size of hole.

The second ticket appears to be a very early Baldwin ticket with notes added by Webb. The coin relating to this ticket was acquired by Lockett from Baldwin having previously come from Webb and was also in the 1894 sale. As the references are to Hawkin and the sale referenced is that of Hugh Howard (d1738) sold at Sotheby 20-22 May 1874, it is reasonable to conclude that the finer hand is that of H Webb Senior.

BLUNT, C E

In addition to those tickets illustrated in Eaglen's article, there is a considerable number of tickets as below with the coin's details on one side and the other indicating that the coin came from the Shirley-Fox bequest to Blunt in 1939. The tickets for the smaller coins are typically 24mm, but large flans may have larger tickets. Around 200 of these found their way into Lord Stewartby's collection, sold at Spink in 2016-7.

STEWART, B H I H (Lord Stewartby)

Collection sold at Spink over 6 sales 2016-7. Tickets are usually cream card, approximately 22-24mm diameter, though others are encountered. At the sale, some coins were sold with 2x2 envelopes giving descriptions and the acquisition details on the reverse. The pencil annotation seen is a later addition. Some coins came in envelopes with a very basic description and reference number written in a different style - this was for cataloguing purposes.

WILLIS, F

Part 1 of the Willis Collection was sold by Glendinning's on Wednesday 5 June 1991 and Part 2 was sold by Glendinning's on Monday 7 October 1991.

To expand on Willis, the lots were accompanied by a ticket giving the lot number and the date of the sale. The smaller ticket is 31.5mm and the larger 37mm diameter.

I haven't. I was leaving it for a month to see what interest there was in the thread once no new posts were being made. Between the 25/5 and 21/8 it looks like about 50 visits, so 2/day. Not wonderful as it implies random views as opposed to research, but better than nothing.

FARTHING SPECIALIST (John Minshull)

Paper envelopes, 57mm square.

LEWIS P.M.

Ticket is 12mm in diameter.

Rob?  Can you confirm this?  I had identified the handwriting as Alan Rayner's.  (I'll delete this once Rob's seen it and replied)

And yes, I check the thread pretty regularly but mostly Rob has already posted tickets from collectors I have examples for and with photobucket being an arse I'm not sure how to attach images any more. 

You might be right. I attributed the ticket based on the collection I acquired the coin from. It is entirely possible that the collector used an already existing ticket.

Sharp. M. B. 

Collector of Charles I (primarily shillings) and subsequently worked at Baldwins (to whom he sold his collection) and then DNW.
