This is a bad example, having been cleaned and all. I wanted a I. Spittle (warehouse) piece because of my interest in the series of tokens issued for the British outpost of Gibraltar. Dalton and Hamer (D&H) state that James Spittle declared bankruptcy in London in 1797 [cheesemonger]. I'm speculating that he or his son may have moved the restored business to Gibraltar where great opportunities existed serving the maritime trade. Other clues include the dolphin theme and the mention of Brighton in connection with his "payable" partners. John Kirby a shopkeeper in Brighton - declared bankrupt in 1796.
See Gibraltar /showphoto.php?photo=1782&nocache=1 for the possible 1820 connection.
