London, Bovril unpublished variety
Obverse: 50 TIMES MORE NOURISHING THAN MEAT EXTRACT , curved above and below BOVRIL .
Reverse: THE GUARANTEED PRODUCT OF PRIME OX BEEF. , around BOVRIL.
Niether obverse or reverse represented in Withers The Token Book 2.
A variant of W 2373-5.
Obverse: Most like W 2373 but the M of MEAT even farther from the B of BOVRIL, also the second limb of the H in THAN points to the beginning limb of the E in EXTRACT.
Reverse: Most like W 2375 the bottom serif of B points to the foot of the R in GAUARANTEED.
To the best of my knowledge, an unpublished variety.
The name Bovril derived from the Latin bos, meaning OX and Johnston took the vril from E. Bulwer-Lytton's novel The Coming Race of 1870, the plot involves a superior race, the Vrils-ya, who get their powers from an electromagnetic substance called vril.
