Many thanks Peckris 2. I do now have a copy of the British Bronze Penny 1860-1901 (arrived yesterday) and it is a great read.
Interestingly the 1986 earlier volume covering 1860-1970 is only available in 9 libraries (according to World Cat), 8 of which are in the UK and 1 in South Africa.
So I have set some searches in hopes one will turn up in time.
Very Best Regards
Bear in mind that the handwriting can help identify a ticket, which can still be useful. Either to link a number of coins to a common owner, or if some provenance is known back to an earlier collection ..
