Hi! I’m Molly Hodgdon. I live in Vermont with my beautiful FIV+ cats Fergus and Francie. Banner photo by W. Eugene Smith. Profile pic is a postcard from my collection mailed 1908.
Not a bot. Not selling anything. Just a keeper of forgotten cats.

Feline token inscribed "I among slaves enjoy my freedom". 1796. www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
I greatly enjoyed Ken Follet’s “The Armor of Light” - his Kingsbridge-based trip through 1760s-1810s Britain. From early industrialization to labor strife-driven sedition laws to Waterloo.
Here's a little more about Spence and his tokens! www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v19n5...
Could be the next big Crypto Coin. lol They already have a Dogecoin.
Also known as conder or evasion tokens (because they "evaded" the Crown's draconian counterfeiting laws by not being made of precious metals and by not being exact copies). Here's one with a cat on an elephant (the arms of Coventry) - en.numista.com/catalogue/pi...
