Bullen & Martin were ironmongers in the Market Place in Norwich. The large key on obverse may indicate that they made keys, along with ornamental iron products.

A shuttle is an instrument used in weaving for passing or shooting the thread of the woof from one side of the cloth to the other between the threads of the warp. Norwich was known for its weaving industry.

The plough alludes to the agriculture of the neighboring countryside and is of a different style than is usually depicted on tokens. According to Bell it was probably a depiction of Tull's four-coltered plough which Bullen & Martins had for sale.

This is a beautiful, lustrous, red-brown token imprisoned in plastic by NGC and graded MS-63 RB, which I promptly "cracked out" upon purchase. It's once again "free"!
