Description

Partridge & Richardson were prominent Philadelphia clothing merchants who operated a large retail establishment. Their copper token (Miller PA-382) advertised ready-made clothing, a rapidly growing segment of the American retail market in the late 1850s. Philadelphia was a major center of the clothing trade, with its textile mills and garment workshops producing goods for both local and national markets. Cataloged as Miller PA-382 in the standard reference for American merchant tokens. Tokens of this type are collected both as numismatic objects and as historical documents of 19th century American business.
