Old House at Home 3d Pub Token

[Covade]

Hi,
Can anyone shed any light on this token & the maker please:-

Old House at Home, licensee is 'J Maybury'
The only pubs I can find are one in Harborne (still trading) and the the other at 24 Friston Street in Ladywood which is long gone.

The token was made by J. Catley 25.1/2 Ludgate Hill B'ham. The only reference I can find to this name is in Whitmore's 'The Token Collectors Companion'. He lists one example from this maker but it isn't this one!

Any help much appreciated!

Found this advert Birmingham Daily Gazette 31 May 1870

Token is for W Maybury not J Maybury - I think.
1884 directory has this entry under the heading "beer retaler"

1881 census - premises not named but

Been in the Old House at Home many times over the years, on the way to and from the River Severn.

J Catley would be Joseph Catley, die sinker, stamper , & piercer, 25½ Ludgate Hill in 1872 directory . He has gone by 1876. Previously it may be the same person in ?whittall St described as a gun percussioner, while a John Catley was a stamper and piercer at court 5 Ludgate Hill (court 5 was next to no 25), So it seems that the manufacture was over a quite short period,

That fits with the advert I posted on #2
