The four pieces presented here are all from the collection of the late Dr. David Rogers. Although they are obviously connected, they were not acquired at the same time. Though all are Æ and the style is very similar to that of 17th century tokens, their origins remain elusive.

These, and related pieces, were discussed by Dr Frederic Pakes Weber, “Perkins School-Tokens” of the Seventeenth Century, NC 3rd series XVI, 1896, 262-7. Whether the conclusions reached by Dr Parkes Weber, with some evident help from H.A.Grueber, were correct is something on which others more knowledgeable than myself should be able to pronounce.
Each of these pieces was represented by die-duplicate specimens in the Norweb Collection, nos. 9395, 9391, 9387 and 9388 respectively. The collection contained several other similar die- or punch-linked pieces – 9383 et seq.
Very many thanks you both. Obviously not been looking in the right places. Now to find a ladder to reach NC for 1896. It will give us a break from photographing coin-weights for the second edition of British Coin-Weights.

Sir William Perkins School founded 1725 and still going. Possibility?
Philip Mernick
Further to Philip’s comment, Sir William Perkins’s school was my own first thought also, but the tokens principally belong, it would seem, to the 1650s (see Robert Thompson’s cataloguing of the Norweb specimens).
A better candidate, maybe, is the school for writing and arithmetic conducted in Guildford, Surrey, by Peter Perkins FRS, prior to his appointment in the late 1670s as Master of the Royal Mathematical School at Christ’s Hospital, but the problem here is that we do not know for how long his school in Guildford operated, and it may well be that this school also is too late in date to be the “Perkins School” (if indeed the arms are correctly identified as those of Perkins : see the relevant SCBI Norweb volume).
