According to new information put forth by numismatic scholar Mr. Eric C. Hodge published in his article "New Discovery in Scotland" in the April 2017 edition of Coin News. In this article Mr. Hodge states that there were two different periods of token issuance from this proprietor. The first period circa 1790-1800 covers Manville- 90 (5 Shillings [round]), 91 (5 Shillings [rectangle]), 93 (2 Shilling 6 Pence [round]), 94 (2 Shilling 6 Pence [rectangle]), 95 (2 Shillings 4 Pence [rectangle]) and 96 (1 Shilling 8 Pence [round]). The second period covers Manville-92 (4 Shilling 6 Pence [round]) with a much more narrow window of manufacture circa 1820-21. He also goes on to state that the denomination of Manville-92 seems to correspond to other issues in Scotland during the period of 1815-20 and later. An interesting and somewhat complex series of countermarked tokens.
